What’s really important in life?

Knowing what’s most important to us is sometimes masked by circumstances and then unveiled in a surprising way. For example, one woman’s life destroyed by hurricane Katrina said on the news that she stayed in New Orleans to be with her home (possessions, etc.), but in the aftermath of the devastation, she wished that she had left town. She almost lost her life. It took a hurricane for her to really know the importance of her life.

What’s really important in life? The Health Colonel lists Zig Ziglar’s answer to this question. Zig’s answer is somewhat long, but you might try pairing it down by eliminating a few items. Then ask the class to identify how Paul might modify the list based on what he wrote in Romans 1:1-15.
