Tents, Houses and Two Worlds . . .

* Tents are temporary (this life)
* Houses are permanent (eternal life)

Repentance => Submission => Obedience => Destiny

The faith-driven life . . .

* We don't need to know the destination to start the journey

* We live in the 'present age' as if we belonged to the 'age to come'

"I will tell you what a tragedy is. I will show you how to waste your life. Consider this story from the February 1998 Reader's Digest: A couple took early retirement from their jobs in the Northeast five years ago when he was 59 and she was 51. Now they live in Punta Gorda, Florida, where they cruise on their 30-foot trawler, play softball and collect shells. . . .' Picture them before Christ at the great day of judgment: 'Look, Lord. See my shells.' That is a tragedy.
- John Piper, “Don’t Waste Your Life”

The faith-driven life . . .

* We don't need to know the destination to start the journey

* We live in the 'present age' as if we belonged to the 'age to come'

* We carry with us, deep down, a heavenly home-sickness

“If I find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is that I was made for another world.” - C. S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
