You're NOT looking!

Garth Heckman The David Alliance [email protected]      Paul says, “We fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen… what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” (2 Cor. 4:18)   “We fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen… what is seen is temporary,   Temporary - pros-kee-ross  Fleeting, non important for the task, WHEN I WAS 22 YEARS OLD SHOPPING FOR A CAR. MARRIED 3 YEARS, BUT NEVER BOUGHT MY OWN CAR. … I was looking at sound systems … I was looking at paint color … I was looking at rims and stance MY DAD WAS LOOKING AT … mileage … monthly payment … accident history … gas economy … the dealers reputation…. I WAS LOOKING AT THE FLEETING.      If eternity is real—and the Bible says it is—then living only for the moment- THE FLEETING is the most dangerous way to live.     1  Eternity Is More Real  Than the Moment   **Scripture:** 2 Corinthians 4:18   Paul doesn’t say the visible world isn’t real—he says it’s **temporary**. Temporary doesn’t mean unimportant. It means *not ultimate*… NOT THE PURPOSE   Going on a cruise in 2 weeks… my wife “what are you going to pack”. My wife packs for a month if we stay 3 days in a hotel…   Illustration: The Hotel Room   You treat a hotel room differently than your house. You don’t remodel it. You don’t get a bigger TV for it You don’t hang family portraits. You don’t panic if something breaks.   Why? Because you know **you’re not staying long**.   Many of us are rearranging furniture in a world we were never meant to settle in.
