Pastor Jody warned about the fleeting pleasures of greed, power, and materialism – using the corrupt presidency of LBJ as an example. These earthly temptations only lead to God’s wrath on the disobedient.
Instead, we must “mortify” or put to death earthly passions like lust, covetousness, and anger. The key is to take no pleasure in sin. When we feel empty, return to serving God through the talents He gave you.
Christ already overcame the world so we can find security and purpose in Him alone. There is hope for the lost who currently have nothing without Jesus.
