About this episode
We live in an age that is desperately trying to repeal the law of gravity. Our culture is filled with people jumping off of high places, flapping their arms with sincere conviction, fully expecting that their good intentions will suspend the inevitable consequences. They believe they can sow thistle and reap figs, sow to the wind and not reap the whirlwind. This is the defining folly of modernity: the belief that we can detach actions from their consequences. We want sexual license without disease and relational wreckage. We want to mock God and yet live in a world that is orderly, meaningful, and just. But the universe does not work that way because God did not make it that way. The law of the harvest is as fixed and unalterable as the law of gravity. What a man sows, that he will also reap.
