Everywhere greedy individuals trod hell and destruction follow, because enough is never enough for the greedy. This is precisely why hell is always full. The Bible admonishes us to: “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” (Matthew 7: 13-14).
The gateway to lasting happiness and eternal life is strait; not crooked, because the true essence of life does not exist in the abundance of things which individuals possess. Love is essential because it forgives many flaws. All human beings are flawed in some manner. There are no perfect human beings on planet earth, because of the sin of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Consequently, corporate and billionaire greediness are running wild in American society. Additionally, too many Christian Pastoral Leaders have gotten caught-up in lustful desires for power, money, and sexual pleasures and have fallen prey to the wilds of the devil.
Consequently, “His watchmen are blind: they are ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that can- not understand: they look to their own way, everyone for his gain, from his quarter.” (Isaiah 56-10-11). MEGA church pastoral leadership corruption, money, and sex scandals have become commonplace occurrences. One of the nation’s largest and most economically influential MEGA churches, Second Baptist in Houston, is now caught-up in a public-legal pastoral leadership scandal. It’s about power and money, and with some churches vanity-oriented sexuality is in the mix, rather than the soul saving power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
President Trump’s tariff policies have up ended the global economic alliance trading structure. Normalizing chaos, confusion, and corruption is not effective democratic governance, because: “There is a way which seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.” (Proverbs 14: 12). In one hundred days the Trump Administration has fueled uncertainty and economic anxiety; not only in America, but the entire world community. American voters must learn spiritually who to listen to. Listening is a Godly quality. Therefore, Jesus said: “Take care what you listen to. By your standard of measure it shall be measured to you; and more shall be given you besides.” (Mark 4: 24). President Trump must talk about the past because he has no multi-cultural vision for the present or future. Of course, there is a difference between multi-cultural democratic governance and autocratic rule.
