One Day, It Will All Be Junk
By Pastor Jerry A. Burns
A visit to a city dump can be a sobering experience. There are old refrigerators, broken televisions, worn-out furniture, and even once-proud automobiles—all thrown away because they are no longer useful. Things that were once new, valuable, and exciting eventually become nothing more than junk.
It is a reminder that everything we own is temporary. The house we live in, the car we drive, the clothes we wear, and the things we spend our money to acquire will one day be discarded. No matter how valuable something is today, it will not last forever.
Jesus reminds us to invest our lives in something that cannot be destroyed. Earthly possessions have an expiration date, but the things we do for God have eternal value.
The question is not whether our possessions will one day become junk—they will. The question is whether we are using what God has given us to make an eternal difference while we have it.
Are you investing more in what will someday be discarded, or in what will last forever?
"What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. In God I will praise his word, In God I have put my trust; I will not fear What flesh can do unto me." — Psalm 56:3-4

What are you Seeking?
In this week’s message titled "What are you Seeking?" from Kitchener Baptist Church, Pastor Jerry A. Burns explores John 20 to show how the world searches for meaning in the wrong places. Listeners will hear how Solomon looked for purpose in worldly success and pleasures only to find vanity, and how Mary Magdalene sought her Savior at the tomb, weeping for the dead before discovering He had risen.
Pastor Burns reminds us that true life is found only in Jesus Christ. The reality of Christ gives us life, and His resurrection is the key to our salvation and eternal life. We must choose life, for Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. Join us on "Timeless Truths" as we turn to God's Word for these vital answers.
