Which distrubs you most?

We are going through a book for our ABF class at church, Absolutely Sure by Steven Lawson. It is a great book and has been very convicting. This weeks chapter was about putting away the things of this world and living for the world to come.

1 John2 15-17 "Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world-the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions- is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever."

Colossians 3:1-11

Mark Flegge (our teacher) also had this on our handout and I just loved it.

Which disturbs you most?
A soul lost in Hell...or a scratch on your new car?
Your missing the worship service...or missing a day's work?
A sermon 10 minutes too long...or lunch half hour late?
A church not growing...or your garden not growing?
Your Bible unopened...or your newpaper or book unread?
The church work being neglected...or housework neglected?
Missing a good Bible study...or your favorite TV program?
The millions who don't know Christ...or your inability to keep up with the neighbors?
The cry of the nultitude for bread...or your desire for another piece of chocolate cake?
Your tithes decreasing...or your income decreasing?
Your children late for Sunday school and church...or late for public school or sports?
Which really disturbs you most?

I thought this was a really good list to help me think about where my desires are and to help me to continue to focus on God and his kingdom.
