Fear God Not Karma
Karma is as unbiblical as luck. Stop using that term. Instant Karma's not going to get you.

Fear God, Not Karma

Good message. The author focuses on the religious understanding of karma, but I would like to add the pop-culture concept of karma to this. For religious karma, it is about reincarnation. For pop-culture karma is about reward and punishment in this life. Anything bad that happens to you is because you did something bad. Anything good that happens to you is because you did something good. Dr. Schultz did a great job in that article bringing out the scriptural principles that assault even this pop-culture understanding, so I won't repeat them here. Unfortunately, pop-culture "karma" has infiltrated the Western church's world view considerably, even though Jesus taught vehemently against it.
