Ted Dekker wrote an excellent book which devoted a great deal of time to this subject, entitled [i]The Slumber of Christianity[/i]. He made a few points that have really stuck with me. First of all, honestly, why do we stress out so much about the insignificant stuff here? This stuff is entirely temporary and hardly worth our worry. Instead, to circumvent our innate reaction, we must look forward to the Kingdom of Heaven, counting everything as worthless in contrast to our pursuit of it as if it's a pearl of great price or a treasure, hidden in a field.
