As leaders, we talk about 'eternal life' constantly — in our sermons, at funerals, in new believer classes. But honestly? We often talk about Heaven as a 'retirement plan' for Christians rather than a 'current power source.' I was really challenged by Maxie Dunnam's new article on the blog today. It reminds us that eternal life isn't just about where we go when we die, but about how we live right now. I’m curious: How do you explain the difference between 'simply surviving' and 'living the gift of eternal life' to your congregation or small group? Is this a distinction you think they're grasping?
