08/10/16 NOTHING FAILS LIKE FAILURE

08/10/16 NOTHING FAILS LIKE FAILURE
It is not hard to understand the principle behind the old adage, "Nothing succeeds like success." because...

Success begets success.
Success leads to more success.
Success teaches us to be successful.
Success draws support from other people.
Success eliminates obstacles to success.
Success emboldens for further success.
and so it goes

HOWEVER
But as I was thinking about some folks, I realized, "Nothing fails like failure."


As people...
Succeed in their selfishness, they become more selfish, but they fail to please God.
Succeed in their crudeness, they become more crude, but they fail to please God.
Succeed in their anger, they become more angry, but they fail to please God.
Succeed in their bold display of meanness, they become meaner, but they fail to please God.
Succeed in hurting other people, they become more hurtful in hurting other people, but they fail to please God.
Succeed in vile behavior and profane speech, they become more vile and profane, but they fail to please God.

THE ANTIDOTE TO FAILURE
We need purity in this putrid world.
We need light in this dark domain.
We need salt in this sick society.


The nightmare is just beginning for this world of woe.

This is why righteous Lot was vexed.

It will take a Divine shaking to rid individuals and this world of Failure brought on by sin.

The songs says, "I don't feel at home in this world anymore."
