Jim Hamilton preached a fantastic sermon last Sunday on Jeremiah 25:15-38 at Kenwood Baptist Church. At the end of the message, he gave an illustration that I thought really connected the text to life. It’s only about five minutes long. In the audio below, it begins at 37:09.

We are ignorant, wayward, and weak enough to throw away the world to come in exchange for a syrupy mixture of caffeine, sugar, and fizzy water, or worse, far worse: shameful things not to be named. God help us get hearts of wisdom.
