Earth is a in-between world touched by both Heaven and Hell. Earth leads directly into Heaven or directly into Hell, affording a choice between the two. The best of life on Earth is a glimpse of Heaven the worst of life is a glimpse of Hell.

He who lays up treasures in heaven looks forward to eternity

Not only will we see His face and live, but we will likely wonder if we ever lived before we saw His face!
Randy Alcorn
Image
Many Christians dread the thought of leaving this world. Why? Because so many have stored up their treasures on earth, not in heaven. Each day brings us closer to death. If your treasures are on earth, that means each day brings you closer to losing your treasures.

Sin and death and suffering and war and poverty are not natural—they are the devastating results of our rebellion against God. We long for a return to Paradise—a perfect world, without the corruption of sin, where God walks with us and talks with us in the cool of the day.

By trusting Christ's redemptive work for us, we can enter into what we long for: the happiness found only in God.
Randy Alcorn
Image
What we love about this life are the things that resonate with the life we were made for. The things we love are not merely the best this life has to offer—they are previews of the greater life to come.

Image
There's a throne in each life big enough for only one. Christ may be on that throne, or money may be. But both cannot occupy it.

What you do with your resources in this life is your autobiography.

Teach your children gratefulness. Do all you can to deliver them from our culture's poisonous entitlement mentality.

The more you give, the more comes back to you, because God is the greatest giver in the universe, and He won't let you outgive Him. Go ahead and try. See what happens.
Randy Alcorn
Image
Give. Giving affirms Christ's lordship. It dethrones me and exalts Him. It breaks the chains of mammon that would enslave me and transfers my center of gravity to Heaven.

Tomorrow's character is made out of today's thoughts. Temptation may come suddenly, but sin does not.

When my thirst for joy is satisfied by Christ, sin becomes unattractive.
