Les Feldick Bible Study

What happens to famous entertainers when their beauty and fame fade?

Famous entertainers may live high on the hog for a few years, but when the flush of beauty wears off, they are cast away and no longer important. Many end up committing suicide or in alcohol treatment. The things of this world pass like grass, while eternal things last forever.

Les explains that people should look at the lives of famous entertainers. They may live high on the hog, but only for a few years. Once the flush of beauty wears off, they are cast away and no longer important. He asks how many end up committing suicide or in the Betty Ford facility for alcohol treatment. This shows the things of this world pass like a blade of grass that comes up in the morning and is cut off in the afternoon, while eternal things last forever. He connects this to the three areas of temptation common to all men: the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life.
