Why do we invest like this is our home? Why do we live like this life lasts forever? Contrary to the “you only live once” (YOLO) mindset that is plaguing this generation, this is not our home, and we will spend eternity in one of two places.

In week two of The Treasure Principle, Pastor Leonce shares the next two keys of faithful stewardship over the finances God has entrusted us with. Having a clearer understanding of living for eternal purposes is understanding these two keys: Heaven, not earth, is my home, and we are to live for the line, not the dot. God has given us an awareness of the eternal and our unsettled hearts without Christ can attest to that. We were never meant to live our lives accumulating. Christian martyr Dietrich Bonhoeffer puts it this way; “Earthly goods are given to be used, not to be collected…. Hoarding is idolatry.”

For the Christian, we have such a beautiful inheritance that is “imperishable, undefiled, and unfading”. Such a gift can never be gained here; It is in Heaven.
