Day 6: life is a temporary assignment

The question to consider is how should we live differently knowing that our assignment on earth is temporary and the first word that comes to mind is "priorities". Knowing I have more eternal concerns than this life, I feel my priorities have shifted... Latest episode of The Office or read my Bible for 30 minutes?

I like how Rick Warren points out that we are not meant to be happy here. Christ said we would be despised when we follow Him. It should be a huge red flag if you ever hear a preacher teaching about how "you were meant to win because you are a chosen child of God!" our comforts in this world are not the greatest concern... That is what God tells us.
