They are the opposite sides of the same coin. There seems to be a real push for pleasure. Sports venues are bigger than ever. Since the 1960’s, sex has been taken to the height of religion. Drugs and alcohol are the standards of the day. It seems that morals are disappearing. You know that the US Army had to begin teaching a moral standard during basic training. They did this not to train mercenaries. There is so much chaos in this world, that people are looking for a way out. It seems that pleasure has been the go-to answer for people. But the only thing that the pursuit of pleasure has caused is pain, the one thing people want to escape. The pursuit of pleasure is a force multiplier of pain. It’s a vicious circle. And if you don’t stop, it will become a death spiral. I have never met a human being who has the power to change their lives. Man doesn’t have the power. The only person who has the power to change lives is God, Himself. And I know that the pursuit of pleasure is only a pretense to block God out of man’s consciousness. You can chase any pursuit you want. Nothing on this earth will change a person’s heart except God. And the pain will not stop until your heart is changed. Then the answer really is the pursuit of God and His righteousness to change your heart and stop the pain. And God is waiting for you to call.
