I Don't Believe I'll Live Forever


Do you believe that we will live forever?

I don’t…

If I believe I’m going to live forever, then why did I spend more time this week building my finances than my relationship with God?
If I believe I’m going to live forever, then why did I spend more time worrying about what people think of me than I spent thinking about my character?
If I believe that I’m going to live forever, then why did I spend more time this week pleasing people for a moment than I did helping them to consider the eternal consequences of their life and actions?
If I believe that I’m going to live forever, then why did I read books this week rather than soaking myself in the living Word of God?

Why do we
......play games? 
......crave entertainment? 
......waste away in front of the TV? 
......work 80 hours a week?
......buy so many clothes? 
......spend hours a week worrying about how we look?
......spend so much time and money on hobbies?
......retire?

Why do we do these things?
Because we don’t believe that we will live forever.
