Chapter 37: Treasures on Earth and in Heaven

<h1>Walking: Walking Under the Father’s Eye</h1>In this concluding series of 16 sermons Dr. Lloyd-Jones makes clear…“It is as if our Lord were saying that the final thing which matters is not what men think of us, but what God thinks of us…..we are reminded all along that our life here is a journey and a pilgrimage, and that it is leading on to a final judgment, an ultimate assessment, and the determination and proclamation of our final and eternal destiny.”  Dr. Lloyd-Jones leads us through the toughest issues of Christian life dealing with issues including personal and spiritual judgment, pursuing the narrow way and the straight gate, the Golden Rule, the wise and foolish house builders, and powers of darkness masquerading as angels of light. It is a seriously compelling and thought provoking series.
