Their end is destruction.
Their God is their stomach;
their glory is in their “shame.”
Their minds are occupied with earthly things.
But our citizenship is in heaven,
and from it we also await a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. - Philippians 3:19-20
What do we concern our lives with more in this life - what is here now or what is to come? Obviously, we need to care about what happens here. We need food and clothing and medical care. We need to care for our children and take care of the earth. Yet, we must always keep the ultimate focus in mind. We do not live for now. We live for eternity. That should make a difference in how we conduct our lives. Does it?
