Overview

Wiersbe's "Be" Series on the Old Testament—Practical, devotional, and concise describes the "Be" series. Each of these mini-commentaries contains a wealth of practical insight into God's Word. This resource provides commentary on 4 books: Amos, Obadiah, Micah and Zephaniah.

"It is necessary only for the good man [or woman] to do nothing for evil to triumph." —Edmund Burke

It is certainly true today that the "Do Nothings" outnumber "The Company of the Concerned," which in part explains why society is so confused and frightened. It's time for God's people to Be Concerned!

Meet some concerned believers who made a difference in their time and who show you how to make a difference in your time:

Amos—The "farmer preacher" who understood the times better than the scholars and who dared to stand for God's truth against the highest officials in the nation.

Obadiah—The prophet who explained why longstanding family feuds ultimately bring defeat and disgrace.

Micah—The prophet who shows why the only hope for any nation is surrender to the Lord and obedience to His Word.

Zephaniah—The prophet who saw the coming "Day of the Lord" and told the people how to get ready.

Join God's "faithful remnant" and dare to be different!

“Privilege brings responsibility, and responsibility brings accountability. The prophet held them accountable for two particular sins: covetousness (Micah 2:1–5) and listening to false prophets (vv. 6–11).” (Page 91)

“Edom’s third great sin was assisting the enemy in attacking the Jews” (Page 80)

“Amos clarified four divine calls and announced that Israel’s judgment was certain. His second message (4:1–13) focused on accusation in which the prophet denounced Israel’s sins. The final message (5:1–6:14) was a lamentation as the prophet felt the anguish of his nation’s certain doom.” (Pages 22–23)

“Edom’s fourth sin was that of ignoring the impending wrath of God (Obad. 15–16)” (Page 81)

“but also they rejoiced at what the enemy was doing” (Page 80)
