bulletJohn Calvin's Commentary on Amos: 
bullet Part 11
bullet"Here is expressed more clearly what the Prophet had said before, - that hypocrites can have no hope, that the various changes, which may take place, will bring them any alleviation."
bullet Part 12
bullet"It was hence necessary that [sacrifices] should be accompanied with penitence and faith. But hypocrites thought, as we have seen, that they thereby discharged their whole duty: it was then a profanation of divine worship."
bulletFrom the Geneva Notes.
bullet"Do your duty to God, and to your neighbour, and so you will plentifully feel his grace, if you show your abundant affections according to God's word."
bulletFrom Matthew Henry's Commentary.
bullet"A pretence of piety is double iniquity."
bulletFrom Wesley's Notes.

bulletArticles & Background:
bullet "War in the Old Testament," John A. Wood, "Peace and War," Christian Reflection, 2004.
bullet"How can God be both a God of peace and a God of war? The ancient Israelites reached no consensus about holy war, just war, and pacifism. Yet Scripture faithfully records their long and difficult debates, for the diversity of viewpoints arose out of a deep faith in God who had brought the people out of Egypt."
bullet "We Believe in Divine Judgment," Georgia Harkness, Chapter 10 in Beliefs That Count, 1961. At Religion Online.
bullet"God is not only the Creator but he is also the Judge of all the earth. All men and nations stand before His judgment bar. The moral law and the Christian ethic judge both sinner and saint. Beyond all human laws, customs, and opinions there is one divine Law which remains absolute and unchanging. Men may break themselves and their civilizations upon that Law but the Law itself stands forever. The judgments of the Almighty are true and everlasting."
bullet"Parenting for Peace and Justice," Kathleen and James McGinnis, Spirituality Today, Spring 1984.
bullet"Family life contains an incredible number of opportunities to help children grow up with an ever greater awareness of others and a desire for universal social justice."
