#1013: Eternal Perspective

Have you heard this criticism of Christians? “They’re so heavenly minded, they’re no earthly good.”Focusing on the world to come doesn’t mean that we are to leave the present world as it is, but everything we do, say, and teach our boys should be filtered through the lens of eternity. What are the Lord’s instructions for you during your time here on Earth? Act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and love your neighbor as yourself.Remember the refrain of British missionary C.T. Studd’s famous poem: “Only one life, ’twill soon be past, only what’s done for Christ will last.”For more encouragement and parenting advice, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.
