Everything You Are Building Has an Expiry Date | Battle Drill
We spend our whole lives building things - careers, homes, savings. But here's the promise: there's one investment that lasts forever, and you can start making it today.
1 Timothy 6:12 says, "Fight the good fight for the true faith. Hold tightly to the eternal life to which God has called you."
Not your pension. Not your savings. The person you're becoming. That's the investment that lasts forever.
This is Day 6 of our 7-day series on Money, Faith, and Discipleship. Today we're bringing everything into focus: what actually lasts when everything else has an expiry date.
