About Us

The fact that the earth is not our definitive home explains why, as followers of Jesus, we experience difficulties, afflictions and rejections in this world. This also explains why some of God's promises do not seem to have been fulfilled, some prayers seem unanswered and some situations seem unfair. This is not the end of the story.

To prevent us from becoming too attached to the earth, God allows us to feel a substantial amount of discontent and displeasure in life, longings that will never be satisfied from this side of eternity. We are not completely happy because we were not meant to be! The earth is not our final home; we were bred for something much better.

A fish would never be happy living on land because it was made to live in the water. An eagle could never be content if he were not allowed to fly. You will never feel fully satisfied on earth because it was made for something more. You will have happy times here, but nothing compared to what God has planned for you.

Realizing that life on earth is only a temporary assignment would completely change their values. Eternal values, not temporary ones, would become determining factors in their decisions. "Everything that is not eternal is eternally useless." The Bible says: Thus we fix our eyes, not on what is seen, but on what is not seen, for what is seen is transient, but what is not seen is eternal.

It is a fatal mistake to assume that God's goal for your life is material prosperity or popular success, as determined by the world. Life in abundance has no relation to material abundance, and fidelity to God does not guarantee career success or even ministry, even if everyone can achieve it. Never concentrate your efforts on temporary crowns, and you will succeed in everything you do by the grace and favor of our Father and Lord Jesus Christ.
