"CHRIST Is Seated At The Right Hand Of GOD."

Set your minds on things above!
(Arthur Pink "Look Upward" 1947)

Many of GOD'S children are ensnared 

by satan today, by getting them unduly 

concerned with what is happening 

in the world. 

He persuades them that it is their 

duty to be well informed 

upon current events--

that it is necessary for them 

to "keep up with the times" and 

take an intelligent interest in what 

is occurring in different parts of 

the earth, and particularly with 

the political and social conditions 

in their own country. 

He would fix their minds on 

the sensational items recorded 

in the newspapers, devoting much 

time to reading and listening to 

the news of the day.

And what good is accomplished thereby? 

Your concern over the doings of the Kremlin, 

and your dismay at the successes of the Vatican, 

will not affect either of them one iota! 

No, but it will injuriously affect you--

it will get you absorbed with carnal things, 

and take the edge off your appetite 

for spiritual things!

"Since, then, you have been raised with 
CHRIST, set your hearts on things above, 
where CHRIST is seated at the right hand 
of GOD. Set your minds on things above, 
not on earthly things." Colossians 3:1-2
