"Till He returns or calls me home, here in the power of Christ I stand..."

"Till He returns or calls me home, here in the power of Christ I stand..."

Such powerful lyrics. Yesterday at church, we sang this song and it hit me. This is not my home.

Especially in America, I think we can get caught up in the materialism society throws our way. In fact, I think it is a level of spiritual warfare. It's a great distraction for those who don't know Christ as their personal Savior, but also for us as believers to do as Jesus instructed in Matthew 28:18-20:

"Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,  and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” 

For non-Christians, Satan wants nothing more than to keep them from a personal relationship with God. For believers, Satan wants nothing more than to keep us from sharing the Gospel with them. Satan wants all of us to believe that earth, this mortal life we are currently living, is home.

Fact is, it's not. In John 14:1-3, Jesus tells us that "there is more than enough room for us in His Father's home." As believers, His children, Heaven is also our home.
