The Seed Blog: A Fireside Chat...Over There

Colossians 3:1-4: God tells us to set our sights on the realities of Heaven—we don’t do this nearly enough. We have learned to be caught up in and live for the moment: “YOLO”; which keeps us from getting and keeping the big picture and understanding what life is truly about. It keeps us from having a ‘Kingdom Perspective’ in our attitudes and actions.
Revelation 21:1-4: imagine what the new, perfect Earth in all its originally intended splendor, mystery and creativity will be like; imagine the places to explore, things to do; imagine an entire Universe that has been created for us to wonder over and discover; imagine the joy of knowing we are loved, safe, secure and living an adventure for eternity. Imagine countless years into this phenomenal life, we meet over there one night, in the middle of one of our exploration trips for a glorious campfire with lost loved ones and we decide to reminisce about our few hard, critical days on this old earth. At that moment—what will your thoughts and feelings be, about how we have lived this life? How we are living right now, how we treat people, how we spend our time, what we thought was important… Will it be important what you pour countless hours into being better than anyone else (sport, hobby, work); that you made sure you were never taken for granted or advantage of—putting people in their place—with no concern of what is important in a relationship? Will that obsession to look the most intelligent, successful or toughest see so important to your ego? Will you feel like it was so imperative that you got your way (even against God’s Will) in selfish acts? Will you feel smug about yourself when you think about the people you were rude, impartial, condescending to in your life? We think we are Kingdom Minded, but we must change things if we are truly to become so.
