Hi, I’m Howie Campbell, and this is a Wisdom and Truth Minute.
People spend a lot of time and resources investing in this world. We gather stuff, care for stuff, store and protect stuff. We invest in the cares of this world, gaining position, knowledge, prestige. Even the poor are heavily invested in this world, as if this world is all there is.
Well, my friend, there is a greater reality. Jesus said, “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchantman, seeking beautiful pearls, who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all he had and bought it” (Matthew 13:45-46). The presence of God is far more important than all this life has to offer.
Hi, I’m Howie Campbell, and this is a Wisdom and Truth Minute.
“Be not conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” (Romans 12:2). It amazes me how the church wants to be like the world. Maybe it’s because we aren’t allowing the Word to transform our mind. It is imperative to spend time in God’s word personally, daily. That way, we will gain God’s perspective on life. Perhaps then, we can transform the world like the early disciples did. My friend – allow the Word of God to transform your mind as you spend time in it. And then, go and transform your part of the world.
