Life Away from God

Illustration of Luke 15:13-16 NLT

Illustration of Luke 15:13-16 NLT -- [Continuing the tale of the two sons, Jesus said,] "A few days later this younger son packed all his belongings and moved to a distant land, and there he wasted all his money in wild living. About the time his money ran out, a great famine swept over the land, and he began to starve. He persuaded a local farmer to hire him, and the man sent him into his fields to feed the pigs. The young man became so hungry that even the pods he was feeding the pigs looked good to him. But no one gave him anything."
