My current sermon series is about being an eternity junkie and seeking hard after forever, with eternity set in our hearts. We can't be satisfied in anything else. I'm preaching it because we need it, and because I need it. I need to grasp for and long after eternity.
From Forever (or Amazon | Kindle) by Paul David Tripp (pg 24-26). For explanations of each point, check out the book. Here are Tripp's "consequences of eternity amnesia"...
- Living with unrealistic expectations
- Focusing too much on self
- Asking too much of people
- Being controlling or fearful
- Questioning the goodness of God
- Living more disappointed than thankful
- Lacking motivation and hope
- Living as if life doesn't have consequences
