In Colossians 3 we are admonished to; Set our affections on things above. That is like telling someone to love something they have never tasted. Or telling a child who has never been to a place like Disney World or Sea World to love them. Even if you tried to describe it to them in detail, their attention span would run out long before the explanation was finished. Oh yes, once they have been there it is easy to love. So how are we going to love things above that we have never experienced?
This message is about some of the things that make it difficult for us to love a place we have never been but where everyone wants to go to someday.
