Sam Powell's sermon (see sidebar) resonated. During the some 35-minute preaching from the Word,

he said that if you've ever met (and been messed over by) a son (or daughter) of belial, you likely have an understanding of the Lord's judgement against these people.  Belial's kids aren't the garden-variety jerks who wheel entire cartloads to the ten-items-or-less counter.   While run-of-the-mill liars, drunks and homosexuals still have space to repent (for now...not smart to put off), belial's kids are a whole different breed.  Belial's kids eat, drink and breathe on new and old ways to cause trouble - get two long-time friends to fall out, bigtime, for no better reason than to get a few chuckles. 

Belial's kids may act all nicey-nicey, but everything, EVERYTHING they say or do has an agenda - the same sort of people who'd steal grampa's money, chuck him in a 3rd rate nursing home, and not miss a beat.  These people have long since sinned away their day of grace - Bible describes them as brute beasts made to be taken out and slaughtered.  In other words, belial's kids may go on for decades living large, but in fifty years - probably less - they'll face ... ugh!  And that's for ever and ever.
