What are people in the world today more concerned about than spiritual things?
People today are described as totally unconcerned about the things of the spirit and more focused on salary, the size of their home, and how many cars or boats they can have. Those material pursuits are not inherently wrong in their rightful place, but they become harmful when made first priority, blinding people to spiritual truths.
Les teaches that as the end time approaches, there is no scriptural indication of a vast worldwide revival during the church age, though there can be pockets of revival here and there. He notes that for the most part, the world today is totally unconcerned about the things of the spirit. Instead, people are more concerned with how much salary they can make, how big a home they can live in, how many cars they can drive, and how many boats they can have. He says there is nothing wrong with those things in their rightful place, but when they become the first priority and blind people to spiritual truths, they will be sorry someday and wish they had straightened out their priorities. He contrasts being carnally minded, which is spiritual death and eternal doom without end, with being spiritually minded, which brings life and peace, eternal life.
