Earth--Heaven or Hell?

Earth--
poverty, strife, war, famine, hurt, love, live, murder, theft, hatred, lies, pain, suffering, unhappiness...

Earth, the planet we live on. Now, corrupted, deprave, immoral, perverse. What is this Earth on which we live? Tonight at church, something has been brought to my attention, and it makes a point as valid as any other.

For Christians, this Earth, is the closest thing to Hell we'll ever get. This place is so terrible, it is so uncomparable to the wonderous place we will soon call Home. But flip the coin, and look at it on the other side. What is this for non Christians? Earth, this place so full of wickedness and suffering, this is their Heaven. This is the only Heaven they'll ever know. That is a sad, sad thought.

Our days are numbered, and time is running out. We're a minute, hour, day, closer to the returning of Jesus. To the time we leave this Earth. We each have a mission, we each have a purpose. And maybe, the very reason we were put on this Earth is to tell someone we know about Christ...now that leaves me with one question. Are you fulfilling your life's purpose?
