4. This life is preparation for the next
This life is not all there is.
Death is not the end of you
A time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear His voice and come out
The next life is not on this earth
Everyone must die once and then be judged by God
Every act of our lives strikes a chord that will vibrate in eternity

5. When you live in the light of eternity
Your values change
You use your time wisely
You use your money differently
You place a higher premium on relationships
And character
Instead of fame, wealth, achievements comfort or even fun

6. What is the unspoken metaphor of your life?
A bee
A castle
A lantern
A sniper
An unused race track
A beautiful dress
A tool kit
A heart
Busy
Impregnable
Providing light
Sneak attacking
Full of potential
Attractive, expensive
Useful
Loving, compassionate

7. Life on this earth is a preparation for the next
Tests and trials reveal our character
Decisions are windows into our soul
Blessings are given to us for the benefit of others.
The more God gives us the more responsible he expects us to be.
Life is a temporary assignment
We are Christ’s ambassadors
We believe there is a life for us beyond this one

8. What on earth are you here for?
Living for God’s glory is the greatest achievement we can accomplish with our lives.

9. How can I bring glory to God?
By worshipping Him
More than praising, singing, praying
Enjoying God, loving Him, giving ourselves to be used for His purposes.

10. Some Leading
By loving others
By becoming like Christ
By telling others about Him

11. What are you living for? When you use your life for God’s glory,
Everything you do can become an act of worship.
