Short-term Gain – Ken Barnes
She (Jerusalem) defiled herself with immorality and gave no thought to her future. (Lamentations 1:9a NLT)
Our culture is increasingly becoming consumed by immediate gratification. We like fast food, get rich quick schemes, quickie divorce, having things before we can afford them. We make choices for instant satisfaction, yet, ignoring the long-range consequences of those decisions. If we live in this manner, we learn that dwelling only on short-term gain always leads us to long-term pain. Israel had this problem. They continually made choices without considering what it meant for them in the future. The Bible teaches us that sin is fun for a season (Hebrews 11:25 KJV). To choose to do something for a limited amount of pleasure which brings about an unlimited amount of suffering, is irrational, but this is the problem; sin is irrational. Transgression is brought about by deception in one form or another. We may believe that God does not really mean what he says about sin, or if he does, he cannot do anything about it. Both of these assumptions misrepresent the character of God. Israel believed a lie about God and started to live outside of the moral constraints that God had given them. This is the same strategy the Devil used in the Garden of Eden. Satan brought an accusation against God (Genesis 3: 4-5 NLT) that sowed the seeds of doubt. Eve believed the lie and acted irrationally. You will never trust someone you do not believe or obey someone you do not trust. Do you believe a lie about God? If you are, it will lead you to make choices without considering their future consequences. When tempted, do we consider its implications for us, our family, and Christ himself? If we do, we are less likely to have long-term pain at the expense of short-term gain. Ken was a missionary with YWAM for many years. Find more of his articles and contact him HERE. |

Perfect to equip the believer for defending their faith. Ideal to send to a skeptical friend or family member. Great for teens and young adults who have never reviewed the objective evidence for God's existence and identity.
An in-depth study of the factual evidence leads a person to realize how little faith they need to believe, while they gain great faith at the same time.
Running close to 5 stars with over 180 online reviews.
Recent Amazon Review:
"For anyone on the fence, backsliding, or doubtful this book clarifies misunderstandings, perceived contradictions, and outright lies. I was led to read this book at a time when I thought I was over Jesus; but truth defeats lies every time and never forsakes the believer." 2-18-17 |
