Hell as God's Junk Heap

Returning to Psalm 1 after several months, Pastor Martin moves to the negative contrast of verse 4: 'The ungodly are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.' He explains why the psalmist gives this contrast (God both draws with promises and drives with threats), defines 'the wicked' as anyone not fitting the description of verses 1-3, and unpacks the winnowing simile. Chaff represents fickleness (no stability), lifelessness (no vital relationship with God), and uselessness (fit for nothing but to be burned), in sharp contrast to the planted tree.
