Set Your Sights on Heaven
"Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth" (Colossians 3:2 nlt).
Awhile ago someone asked me in an interview, "Why do you talk about Heaven all the time?" He said that he noticed in my sermons or when I'm on the radio or TV that I'm always talking about Heaven.
I thought, "Really? Well, good."
That's a good thing to always talk about. I wasn't aware I was doing it, but I'm not ashamed or embarrassed by it. Really, what's more important than where we will spend our eternal destiny?
I've always studied Heaven. I've always been fascinated by it. I wouldn't say that I'm an expert on it, but I would say that I'm a student of it. And I became greater student of it in 2008 when my son went to Heaven.
Colossians 3:1–2 tells us, "Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God's right hand. Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth" (nlt).
We are to set our hearts and minds on things above. This is effectively saying, "Constantly be seeking and thinking about Heaven." |

Carrie Lowrance |
Kids birthday parties are so much fun to attend. There is always lots of fun things to do from playing in the pool, bouncy houses, or just playing games, opening presents, and eating ice cream and cake.
Regardless of the party is simple or extravagant, it's always fun to see kids running around having a good time. Especially girls. Do you have a birthday party for a girl coming up? Are you trying to figure out a fantastic Christian gift to take? No worries, these gifts will light up the face and heart of any of the King's daughters.
In a world of princesses, fairies, and unicorns, it's hard to find heartfelt and meaningful gifts. Especially for young girls. The gifts in this list will help young girls learn and grow more in their faith as well as show it and share it with others. These gifts are a great way to encourage them to let their light shine out into the world through what they learn while reading devotionals and teen Bibles. They can also show their faith off to the world by wearing Christian clothes and jewelry. Your young recipient will love any of the gifts on this list, and you will feel good knowing you have given a gift to help advance the kingdom of God. |
