Lu 15:13 Into a far country. Wandered far away from the Father's house, from God. Wasted his substance. All do in that far country. The worldly life is a wasted life. It is more baneful to waste our spiritual opportunities and resources than to waste earthly goods.

Luke 15:13 This young man went far from the will of God to do his own thing, far from righteousness, and when that happends, we often fine ourselves in a terrible place.
