Charles Spurgeon Commentary Amos 5:26-27

"Yea, ye have borne the tabernacle of your king and the shrine of your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves. Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith Jehovah, whose name is the God of hosts." — Amos 5:26-27 (ASV)

Oh, for pure worship! Oh, for pure living! Oh, for hearts that spiritually worship the Lord, for Jesus said, God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?
