The world sets no real value
on things after death –
If there is a hope of heaven,
it is for many a vague hope
that makes little difference
to daily living.
Living an eternity-driven life means:
Randy Alcorn:
“Heaven should affect our activities and ambitions,
our recreation and friendships, and the way we
spend our money and time. If I believe I’ll spend
eternity in a world of unending beauty and adventure,
will I be content to spend all my evening staring at
game shows and sitcoms or playing comp. games?
Even if I keep my eyes off of impurities, how much
time will I want to invest in what does not matter?”
Reorders:
• My relationship with God
• My responsibilities
• My resources
Living an eternity-driven life means:
“Let heaven fill your thoughts.
Do not think only about things
down here on earth.”
Col. 3:2
 Prepared by belonging to Him
 Prepared by following Him
 Prepared by serving Him
Our stewardship: gifting and service
Our stewardship: resources
Living an eternity-driven life means:
Living with eternity in view calls for faith
“Therefore ... do not worry... do not be
afraid…”
“Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly
we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being
renewed day by day. For our light and momentary
troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far
outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is
seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is
temporary, but what is unseen is eternal”
2 Cor. 4:16-18
