How do we know when something has become morally crooked—especially when we've grown so accustomed to it that it looks perfectly normal?
In Part Two of Faith Was Never Supposed to Be Silent, Rev. David Wheeler explores one of the prophet Amos’s most unforgettable images: God holding a plumb line against the life of a nation. What Amos reveals may surprise us. God isn’t measuring only private morality. God is measuring the kind of society religious people are helping to build.
Through Amos 7:7–9, 5:10–15, and 3:9–10, we explore what happens when injustice becomes ordinary, truth becomes inconvenient, and people lose the ability to recognize what is right. Along the way, we discover how deeply Jesus stands within the Hebrew prophetic tradition—and why Christian faith must help us think theologically about public life.
The most dangerous crookedness may be the crookedness we have learned to call normal.
But the plumb line is not only an image of judgment. It may also be an invitation to grace, transformation, and the courage to imagine a different kind of world.
Preached September 20, 2026, at New Covenant Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Oklahoma City.
