Balancing the heavenly and the earthly.

With all of us seemingly drowning in a sea of technology these days, many are considering the question of whether or not it is better to concentrate more on eternity and less on today, in an attempt to achieve the right balance.

The answer is found clearly in the Bible as Christ commands us to "...love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." (Mark 12:30-31).

When we do as Christ commands, we learn how to achieve and sustain "the balance" as the dynamics of life unfold around us. Both factors are equally essential, much the same way salvation leads us to the subsequent journey of sanctification.
