Home

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him (1 John 2:15)

Where is your home? Pliny the Elder is credited with saying, "Home is where your heart is?" Where is your heart? Is it in this world or with God? Do you live to accumulate things, or is your life dedicated to following the Lord? Who or what holds most of your heart and your time? Which one is reflected in the choices you make and the way you live your life?   

For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come (Hebrews 13:14)

Jim Reeves said that this world is not our home, we're just passing through in one of his songs. Billy Graham agreed with this because said he was never going to die; he was just going to change addresses. We need to understand these concepts and order our lives accordingly.

Set your affection on things above, not on things of the earth (Colossians 3:2).

Our life on this earth is temporary, fleeting. Our eternal life is forever, and we'll be spending it in one of two places. That's what makes this so critical. If God doesn't hold your heart, then the world does, and if the world has it, Satan has it. Pray about it.
