Day 1604 MARCH 27TH – GOVERNMENTAL MOUNTAIN PERSPECTIVES!
Can you feel it as evil being exposed and addressed everywhere? Justice is coming to the earth. When the sentence for a crime is not speedily executed, the hearts of men become fully set on doing evil. This phrase highlights the importance of justice being carried out promptly. In biblical times, swift justice was crucial to maintaining order within society.
“Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.” (Ecclesiaste8:11)
This verse is found in the book of Ecclesiastes, which is traditionally attributed to King Solomon. Even so, Solomon asserts that still I know it will be well for those who fear God, who fear Him openly. Although a wicked man might appear to gain benefits from his evil deeds, it will eventually catch up with him. Solomon says the sinner who does evil will not lengthen his days like a shadow, because he does not fear God. Solomon seems to contrast the sinner whose evil deeds lengthen his life with the preferred result of a life that has been lengthened like a shadow.
The book is a reflection on the meaning of life, the nature of existence, and the pursuit of happiness. It explores the futile and fleeting nature of worldly pleasures and the ultimate vanity of life without God. The verse in question, Ecclesiastes 8:11, is a reflection on the human proclivity towards evil and the consequences of delayed judgment. The verse begins with the phrase “Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily.” This acknowledges the reality that, in the world, justice is not always swift or immediately apparent. This delay in retribution can lead people to believe that they will never face consequences for their actions. They may become emboldened in their sin and selfishness, believing that they are untouchable or will never face judgment for their wrongdoing.
The second part of the verse reads, “therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.” This portion of the verse reflects the sinful nature of mankind and the tendency to engage in wrongdoing when the consequences are not immediately apparent. When individuals do not see the direct repercussions of their actions, their hearts become hardened, and they are more likely to continue in their sinful ways. This perpetuates a cycle of wickedness and moral decay.
The verse speaks to the need for prompt and just consequences for wrongdoing. When individuals see that their actions have swift and severe repercussions, they are more likely to reconsider their behavior and turn away from evil. However, when there is a delay in justice, people are more likely to persist in their sinful ways, leading to widespread corruption and moral decay. In a broader context, this verse reflects the biblical understanding of justice and the consequences of sin. Throughout the Bible, there is a consistent message that God is a just and righteous judge who will ultimately bring justice to the world. The delay in the execution of justice should not be misconstrued as apathy or indifference on God’s part. Instead, it is a demonstration of His mercy and patience, giving people the opportunity to repent and turn from their wicked ways. This verse also addresses the fallen nature of humanity and the propensity for sin. It acknowledges that, without the fear of consequences, individuals are prone to embrace evil and moral corruption. This echoes the biblical teaching that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23) and that the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked (Jeremiah 17:9).
The symbolism in this verse is profound, as it captures the essence of the human condition and the need for divine intervention. It serves as a reminder of the importance of justice, the reality of sin, and the mercy of God. It also underscores the urgency of repentance and the need for moral accountability. In conclusion, Ecclesiastes 8:11 offers a sobering reflection on the human inclination towards evil and the impact of delayed justice. It serves as a call to pursue righteous living, acknowledging the ultimate justice of God and the necessity of moral accountability. This verse reminds believers to trust in the sovereignty of God and to seek His wisdom and guidance in the face of a fallen and sinful world.

“PRODIGAL DEVOTIONAL…A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY” – PROJECT!
All of us desire to know what truth is; what happens after I die; or what is my purpose for living. Young and old go through these various struggles. The Bible states in Isaiah 1:18 – “Let us reason together”. It states in Hosea 4:6 – “My people perish for lack of knowledge”. God wants us to know Him in a personal way and He desires for each of us to discover our purpose and destiny in life! Why not start a movement to directly help parents, grandparents, youth pastors, campus leaders to train and equip our young people and “PRODIGALS”? Why not create a “Spiritual Journey Devotional” to bring back prodigals, but also prevent the younger generation from becoming one. I (Rick) have worked on University campuses for years talking with countless young people (thousands) discussing and debating issues regarding God and the Bible. Opportunities to debate with representatives of other religions, atheists, agnostics, liberals and philosophies have been numerous. Also many liberal professors challenged me. Out of these experiences seems to arise a constant flow of redundant questions and topics. I have come to conclude that the questions and answers must be given to our young people.
PRODIGALS: Many in your congregation or sphere of influence have children, grandchildren, nephews, nieces and spouses who have become prodigals. Many wonder what happened as they were brought up in a Christian home. Can this be addressed directly in our churches and homes???
POINT TO PONDER: Many parents, pastors, youth leaders, cannot answer basic questions which are used to confuse believers and create seeds of doubt. We send our kids ill equipped into the world. Why not create a “DEVOTIONAL” answering these questions for parents and leaders to impact our church culture? It would be broken down into 3 sections – babes, you, and those mature in Christ. .Numerous church leaders I have contacted said this must be done.. In my publication “Bible to be True” evidence was given. I believe it was a good start for a family devotional – proving the Bible to be undoubtedly true. What if each parent could cover one of those topics each week? Then tackle the basic questions that are in the new upcoming Devotional – 70 other questions or topical areas would be included. The plan would be a 4 color, High Gloss 100 page devotional.
WHAT IS THE COST PROJECTION???: Based on printing of 5000 copies in the past this is only an estimate to have it done with excellence…10,000$-12,000$. I have spoken with many leaders and they have given me counsel on how to proceed. They all said it is necessary to get this project moving forward. Look at what is happening on some universities: https://cbn.com/news/us/they-want-god-8000-students-seek-jesus-huge-kentucky-revival-2000-give-lives-christ?fbclid=IwY2xjawIkNIdleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHZ0tBU2qo7LNH95j_YuxGjJ_CGHtdpWmvq6HRPakw4Un4-TOm9SEmBqvvw_aem_xjtW6onajoQPjsNifHNNLA
