Treasure the Lord, THE true treasure.

The advice is often given to live each day as if it’s your last. But what if we looked at it from the opposite perspective and lived every day as if we’ll live forever? This week we’ll see how our eternity impacts our generosity. If this life is all there is, it’s only natural that we would grab onto as much wealth as possible and never let it go. “Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die,” as the saying goes. But because we know that we will live forever, we are set free from slavery to our possessions. Instead, we can be generous people - using the wealth that God has given us to invest in the spread of the gospel and its eternal impact.
