By Lynette Kittle “So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary but what is unseen is eternal”—[2 Corinthians 4:18]( Countless viewers love watching the house hunting shows on HGTV, where many of the home seekers are searching for their “forever homes,” which maybe is just a term to mean until they pass from this life, because this world is passing away. The truth is there are no forever homes on earth. As much as individuals like to believe they can choose somewhere to stay indefinitely, we are not in control. It’s a false security. Natural disasters, job losses, economic crisis, even wars prove we can’t plan for forever living in a world that’s constantly changing. Earthly comforts are fleeting and offer no guarantees of everlasting value. Ancient ruins, along with not-so-ancient ruins, display how things on earth deteriorate no matter how strong and innovative they’re built, or how much we’re assured things will last forever in the world. They just don’t. This world isn’t meant to last forever.  [CONTINUE READING →](            You May Also Like:        [5 Popular Worship Songs and the Inspiring Stories behind Them](  Dolores Smyth Here are the inspiring stories behind 5 of the most well-known hymns and worship songs.  [CONTINUE READING →](       [6 Reasons Why I’m So Excited to Be a Christian in 2023](  Kelly-Jayne McGlynn 2023 is a beautiful, exhilarating period of time for Christians of all ages, genders, and races to grow deeper in their relationships with God.  [CONTINUE READING →](            [Couple Dressed As Barbie And Ken Perform Epic Dance Number](  GodTube.com Two talented dancers showed off their moves while performing as the iconic and beloved dolls Barbie and Ken.  [WATCH NOW →](        [10 Things You Should Never Say to Your Pastor](  Joe McKeever Listening to the gripes of the Lord’s people is standard fare for ministers.
