Today at Mars
Hill Church,
Pastor Mark Driscoll talked about Christ’s second coming and what to
expect. I was really convicted because I
realize how attached to the world I am.
Today, I had the odd thought, “I would never donate my body to science
after I die; what if I came back?!” That
thought really bothered me, because I saw how much value I place on this
life. This life is the only hell
Christians will ever know, and the only heaven non-Christians will ever
know. I’m enjoying this to the point
where, I guess, where I leave God out.
Because if I REALLY enjoyed God through His creation like I like to
think I do, then I would be looking more towards the future when I get to enjoy
His PERFECT creation in heaven.
Although, I’m all about living in the moment and enjoying what God has
given us, I shouldn’t enjoy it to the point where I forget it’s God’s.Thank You, Jesus, for this life. Please help
me to attribute everything to You. I
want to enjoy this world, but I need to realize that You are the ultimate
joy.

At King's they always talk about the New Jerusalem and how we're not striving to escape this world but instead to make a better world. Heaven is not our home. It is where we stay until the Jesus comes back and sets everything right. that helps with a lot of my fears but not all of them...you know what i mean.
