THINK ONLY

"For I have told you often before,

and I say it again with tears in my

eyes, that there are many whose

conduct shows they are really 

enemies of the cross of Christ.

The are headed for destruction.

Their god is their appetite, they

brag about shameful things, and

they think only about this life

here on earth."

(Philippians 3:18,19 NLT)

This is scary.  The apostle Paul is writing to

the church at Philippi.  Yes, the Christians,

or at least professed Christians at Philippi.

And some of them are headed for destruction

because they THINK only about the things of

this world.

I see the same thing today.  People at church

who only talk about the things of this life,

even at church.  And if you follow them on

social media it is the same thing.  Professed

Christians, who you never hear a word 

 about spiritual things, only about the things

of this life.

We need to get our hearts and minds out 

of this life and it's problems and on to

the things of God.

"Since you have been raised to

new life with Christ, set your sights

on the realities of heaven, where

Christ sits in the place of honor

at God's right hand.  Think about

the things of heaven, not the things

of earth."

(Colossians 3:1,2 NLT)
