Set Your Affection on Things Above

Faith and Finances

We are distracted people. There is everything from minor distractions (the doorbell rings) to major distractions (insert favorite social media platform here.)

In truth, the enemy, Satan, is expertly skilled at distracting us. You see, if we are distracted, mentally, emotionally, or physically, we will easily forget our true calling - reaching the Lost and impacting this world for eternity.

In This Episode, We Look At:

When we live with a worldview of life, our affections are set here, on earth, and our efforts not only seem empty but bring emptiness.

Try as we might, building a kingdom on earth is much like earning money and placing it in a bag with holes. Wait, that’s in Scripture!

Everything we see, touch, and strive for "under the sun" will pass away, meaning (literally), that it will all burn.

The solution is to seek those things that are above, where Christ sits at the right hand of God, and "set your affections on the things above not on things below." (Col. 3:1-2)
