Crumble and Fade

We live in a world of material things. We find ourselves struggling to get an extra dollar on the hour just to spend it on something that we don't really need. This 'right now' society we live in is growing rapidly. We want, so we get... helping ourselves to everything that leaves us empty.

But what really matters here? Cars, houses, boats, computers, tv's, etc... What is it that really matters? We should ask ourselves if what we are gaining in this world is helping or hindering us.

We are living in uncertain times. Now is not the time to put your trust in material things. None of us can afford to stand on sinking sand. We must trust the Word of God and stand firmly on it! We can't hold on to the things of this world. Eventually, everything of this world and this life will be gone. So why try to gain what will not matter in the end.

What matters in the end is not that you were a good person, how much money you had, or how well-known you were... we've got to look deeper into this. Jesus is the only thing that matters! Serve God, live for Him, walk with Him daily, do His work... that's what will matter in the end.

Trying to keep up with all the things of this world is near impossible. It's too much to handle. Things of this life will pass away... but it's not bad news... the former things will pass away, but Jesus makes all things new.

To this world and everything in it, I say we just let go of it all. You cannot take anything on this earth to heaven with you. All the money, houses, cars, computers, recognition, and to everything else in this world... let it fade. It will be forever gone when the trupet sounds!

We must be ready for the second coming of Jesus Christ! We can't stand on our own. We need Jesus... if you've been carrying a weight of your past, running from the call that God's given you, you can find rest in the arms of Jesus. You can hold onto Him and trust Him... He will never leave nor forsake you!

There is more to this life than material things... there's a new offer on the table for you; eternal life with Jesus. He is all we need! So let this old life crumble, forget about the things of this world... let it fade, and make Jesus your everything!
