Q1. (1:1) How would you describe the behavior of a Christian who identifies more with his present homeland than his heavenly one? I would describe the behavior as worldly. This person has put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ, but still cling to his or her old ways of living. Their attitudes and actions are much like those of there unbelieving neighbors. Their decisions seldom take God in consideration. They have built their houses upon the sand. (Matthew 7: 24 -27)
Q2. Have you ever caught yourself doing this? Yes. However, not as often as I used to. When I find myself leaning on my own understanding, I humble myself and acknowledge my ways.
Q3. What has to happen to get our spiritual priorities straight?
If we pray and turn away from that behavior. The Bible says, we will hear from heaven and God will forgive us and restore us (2 Chron 7:14 b). We must eat of the word of God daily. It is a well balanced meal. We must also seek God in prayer daily and attend a bible teaching church regularly. It is medicine for our souls which will keep us healthy until we arrive at our heavenly destination.
