“This book will ignite a passion to live wholly and holy for God as an overflow of our heart’s love for Him.”
- Al Mohler
From the first chapter of Clutter-Free Christianity: What God Really Desires for You:
“Imagine your employer announces that in two weeks you’ll be moving to Vienna, Austria … forever. How would you react? Although you’ve seen pictures of this beautiful city, you know very little about it. Because of your limited knowledge, you’d probably try to find out everything you can about Vienna before you left. What language is spoken? What’s the temperature like? What clothes are most appropriate?
You’d want to obtain or update your passport, secure any other necessary travel documents, and purchase your airline tickets. You’d have to decide what items you want to move with you and which ones to leave behind. You’d arrange to sell your house here and purchase a new one over there. You’d want to exchange your dollars for the proper currency.
But it would be unimaginable to do nothing and simply adopt the “I’ll go with the flow” philosophy. Sure, you might be able to rationalize your lack of preparation with thoughts such as:
- “Maybe at the last moment, circumstances will change and I won’t have to go.”
- “I’ll wait until I get there to see what it’s really like.”
- “I doubt Vienna is any different from where I live now.”
Failing to prepare for your journey would be unwise and could result in some disastrous consequences. If you know you’re going to make a long trip, you certainly want to be ready for it.
Whether you realize it or not, you will one day take the journey of a lifetime to a foreign land you’ve never seen. Although your departure time is unknown to you, the hour is already fixed on God’s calendar. At a moment known only to Him, you’ll leave everything you know and everyone you know, and you’ll stand alone before God. He will decide your eternal destiny: heaven or hell. If you wait until that moment to prepare for the journey, you’ll have waited too long. The preparations you make in this life will determine how you spend the next one …”
