Something to think about !

“I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.” Ecclesiastes 1:14

Therefore..........

Live your life to do something of significance for eternity. Like the song says, “Only one life will soon be past, only what’s done for Christ will last!”

So here are some suggestions for living a life that counts forever:

* Give meaningful portions of your time, gifts, talents, and money to advance the eternal cause of Jesus to those around you! Remember, that wiggly six-year-old in your Sunday school class may be the next Billy Graham! (See Matthew 25:21.)

* Encourage your children to consider going somewhere in this world to win people to Christ and to plant churches that will propagate the eternal power of Jesus to save those who otherwise are eternally lost. (See Matthew 9:36.)

* Raise a godly generation to carry the eternal values and principles of God’s Word into their world. (See Psalm 119:89-90.)

* Be like Jesus, live to win a lost friend to the eternal joy of heaven. (See Luke 19:10.) Love and obey God with all your heart. Look forward to His appearing and receive a crown of righteousness when you get to heaven. (See 2 Timothy 4:8.)

As Jesus taught us when He told the story of the rich fool, “This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself? . . . Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys” (Luke 12:20,33).
