Marvin's sermon reminded us that life constantly tempts us to chase after distractions that look appealing, or pull us toward enraged reactions, and by doing so pull our focus away from Christ's Kingdom. He urged us to recognize the dichotomy between God's Kingdom, and earthly sides, and to not be swayed by sides, struggles, or the things that grasp at our lives, but to remain anchored in putting God first.
The choice before us is simple: to live blind, chasing what fades, or to believe, keeping our eyes fixed on the One who never fails.
