Amos 1 - The Shepherd of Tekoa

We are introduced to one of the early prophets, a humble shpherd from Tekoa. God is patient, but some things are unforgiveable. Five things are unforgiveable for God; Humiliating others, making them suffer more than necessary, being ungrateful, acting out of anger, and acting selfishly. You can make mistakes a few times, but once they become ingrained in a society, it becomes impossible to cleanse.
