Can Heaven Wait?

Vanity of vanities, all is vanity, scripture tells us. So on the whole I agree with Pastor Tom about the misplaced priorities of beautifying the body in this world. On the other hand, the idea of seeking salvation in order to have literally a "heavenly body" is shallow at best. I don't imagine that he is suggesting this an evangelistic tool, but it seems to be a misplaced priority to seek some eternal reward when Jesus clearly and consistently proclaimed that the reign of God was at hand. I am unashamedly biased toward the here and now, not the by and by.
