Here & Now vs. Then & There

Don't you just love how King David says in Psalm 10:5 about the wicked, "His ways are always prosperous; he is haughty and your laws are far from him; he sneers at all his enemies."?

Nobody should say, "crime doesn't pay", because clearly it does. It's not that evil ruins your life but it does cripple your afterlife. We need to get our facts straight if we are going to minister effectively to this generation. It does pay to be bad. People can have great lives materialistically speaking and never have the "void".

It is a moral issue at stake. This is not about now but about the afterlife when you can't take your wealth and connections with you. We must stop trying to win people over with clever tricks about trying to make their lives better and find a way to make the afterlife relevant to them. It must become real and inevitable. Not a matter of belief but a truth. I think we are harvesting with blunt hoes at the moment. Let's sharpen them with the Word of God and the Spirit of Truth.
