Counting Forever
In the inaugural issue of the newsletter A Higher Purpose,
published by the Great Commission Foundation, Campus Crusade for Christ
president Steve Douglass says, “Frankly one thing that doesn’t count
forever is wealth that is left over at the end of our lives, wealth
unused in any worthy cause whatsoever. From a biblical point of view,
you see that some day, eventually the end will come. As we read 2 Peter
3:10, we see that the earth will be burned up, there will be nothing
left — just an ash heap. On that day, in the midst of all these ash
heaps, the only thing a wealthy person will be able to say to a poor
person is, ‘Oh look! My ash heap is bigger than your ash heap!’ Not
significant!”
As we strive for
significance, it is wholly appropriate that we should call others to
significance as well, to join us in the quest, to make something of
eternal value during our earthly lifetime.
