Too often Christians passionately pursue worldly objects and affections that don’t hold eternal value. Without considering how they may serve Christ, these Believers focus their time, skills, and energy on a variety of pursuits including education, sports, careers, fame, and money. They may not realize it, but they should wake up to the fact that they are grasping for shadows—that their self-centered pursuit of these fleeting objects is eternally meaningless.
“Only one life, ’twill soon be past, only what’s done for Christ will last.”
–David Livingstone
