Live life bearing in mind that one day you will leave. Leave life knowing that you are off to live.
The train of life might move slow; because that is what mostly does. It will pass over rocky hills, bumpy fields and, occasionally, smooth plains. And you might be seated in a cabin with the most annoying people ever.
And when all these happens, you probably have to take a leap out the window and get hurt, but it will be worth it if you get a bicycle and ride alongside the train, dodging the hills and the bumps, creating your own trail because you are unique in your oneness and singularity. Or you might get a jet and move faster than the train, but no matter which, bear in mind that you must reach your destination — home.
But where is home?

And to emulate Christ better, you have to be in this world but not of it. But in all these…

The Evolution of Worship — Edgar Winter Worship to God is holy and sacred. There is an erroneous idea today that the main reason we attend worship is to “get something out of the service”, rather than going there to give our worship to God. This is a selfish motive on our part. This is the reason people cannot …
Material gifts are good, but they cannot replace God’s greatest gift to us — salvation in Jesus Christ — which will be with us for eternity. At the holidays, it’s tempting to focus on ourselves, our families, and our to-do lists — and to lose ourselves in the busyness of it all. Yet all this activity can crowd out the very …
