Prioritizing the Soul: Spiritual and Psychological Paths to Recovery
What good is it for a man to gain the whole world? Let's say: you got, you don't deny yourself. And let's say: you get everything you want. Let's say billions and billions of dollars. Okay, you got an unlimited amount of money. And let's say: you live to be a hundred in perfect health. At a hundred you're still, you know, playing ball you're, you're running around, you're, you're happy, you're, you're healthy. You're traveling the world, anything your heart desires. You can experiment with any type of drug. All the women you want, all the men you want, whatever you want. Ruin your reputation by following Jesus and preaching none of that. You die and say the first seconds of being in hell. So you're in this burning heat and total darkness.
