What are we seeking?

We live in a selfish, materialistic world where people are seeking after worldly goods to please themselves.

Sadly, this is even in our churches. We all need to take inventory of our heart and attitudes concerning this world. What are we seeking after and whom do we seek? Seek means to look for and go after. Our first and main focus is to be the Lord Jesus Christ and His righteousness. Then whatever we have need of, He shall supply! Let’s not allow the devil to deceive us and lure us with the world’s bidding. It holds nothing in comparison to what God has for us in this life and in the life to come.


But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Matthew 6:33



The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. John 10:10

Many people are confused by this question. But before I answer it, I want to make clear that there is a real heaven and a real hell! Everyone goes to one place or the other—their choice! So, no, everyone does not go to heaven, but everyone will go somewhere when they die.

Child’s toy in middle of disaster
By Dr. Judy Baus September 2, 2025
So many horrible things are happening in our world today—children and adults gunned down in the middle of prayer, lives being destroyed by wars, famines, floods, fires, absolute madness– and if we allow ourselves to focus totally on these things, fear can totally take over and then we will become victims instead of a v

We are eternal beings, and we shall live for eternity somewhere! If we think we are saved, we are not! We must KNOW without a shadow of a doubt that we are born from above and have both an earthly address and a heavenly address. This is done by accepting Jesus as our Savior and living for HIM!

I see so many believers focusing on world events and the despair in our world. That may well be a focus for the unbeliever but certainly not for a believer! If we read our manual for success (Bible) and obey what it is teaching us, then we will have all our focus on Jesus and the cross! Jesus did everything for us on t
Potter's hands with clay
By Dr. Judy Baus June 2, 2025
The Lord speaks to us through His manual for success (Bible). But are we listening? We are living in very evil times, but we can also see revival among people if we watch Christian News. When people get saved in great numbers, we need to pray for them to truly get connected. A merely emotional experience is not becoming born again. Conversion is believing that the Lord Jesus Christ went to the cross, died, and rose again, and we ask Him to forgive our sin.
