The faithful
28 July 2009
In a world filled with fantasies where:
the forces of darkness lure even the cleverest;
material success puts a soul’s salvation at risk;
the thirst for consumption is satisfied at any cost;
children born of love are thrown aside because of new passions;
moral values are traded for the pleasures of the flesh;
even the faithful sell out for a bowl of lentil stew;
a mature love is replaced by a younger one;
and the law of the flesh says that you had better share your man than be alone,
faithfulness is meaningless…
But the Word of the Eternal ensures that “a faithful man will abound with blessings, but he who hastens to be rich will not go unpunished” (Proverbs 28.20).
By Bishop Macedo
