Eternal Values in a Fleeting World

And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
