Luke 11:39
Then the Lord said to him, "Now then, you Pharisees clean
the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.
All actions of wicked men and women today are motivated by the excessive greed for money. Every controversial act stems from greed that flows out from the sinful nature of the Devil in them. They seek to be controversial so that they could make more money. They do not care about other things. All that they want is money. That's how things have evolved. They have found no other way of surviving but by cheating this way. They do not really care about anything else. Their culture is to draw 'wisdom' from the sinful nature of the Devil in them. They do not have fear for the LORD. They resort to doing anything to get more money. They call this; being 'smart'. In their own eyes, this is being 'smart'. They lie, utter hurtful words and hurl insults hoping that they be found controversial so that their product sells. Nowadays, you need to be controversial in approach then only you are 'smart' to them. They will make an appeal based on controversy. Greed is the cause for all this.
Greed and wickedness go together. You cannot separate both these sins from each other. Those who are greedy practise wickedness You cannot be practising godliness and have greed for money at the same time. The pharisees did this during the times of Jesus Christ our Lord on Earth. They claimed they were godly but at the same time they were greedy for money. Do not believe such people, all they are after is your money. They may use your emotional response but it's for money and not that they care about you or anything. They do not want anything else from you but your money. There are more and more people like this today. So, be very careful of them. On the outside, you will see all well polished and appearing all clean shaven but from inside will flow all their rottenness to you. Watch it!
Such men and women are surely going to pay the heavy price for all their accumulated sins they commit. They are great manipulators of others and the situations around them for their own selfish reasons and advantage. They do not fear the Lord. They have not seen what the LORD could do to them, therefore they aren't afraid. They test the LORD to challenge Him to action. They always feel that they are above the LORD in everything, or else they wouldn't do these things. But, the LORD is a patient and longsuffering God, who even gave ten long and trying chances to Pharoah to change his ways as in the ten plagues. Pharoah was stubborn and he changed not, and after that we all know what happened. Stubborness and rebellion will be met with God's punishment eventually. Let's wait and see together.
