"The teaching of the Bible has a vital bearing upon man's prosperity in all the relations of this life. It unfolds the principles that are the cornerstone of a nation's prosperity - principles with which is bound up the well-being of society, and which are the safeguard of the family - principles without which no man can attain usefulness, happiness, and honor in this life, or can hope to secure the future, immortal life."

Let's Get Down To 'Brass Tacks'

During yesterday's 'reading', I came across this thought-provoking quote from John Piper:

The critical question for our generation, and for every generation, is this: If you could have heaven with no sickness, and with all the friends you ever had on earth, and all the food you ever liked, and all the leisure activities you ever enjoyed, and all the natural beauties you ever saw, all the physical pleasures you ever tasted, and no human conflict or any natural disasters... could you be satisfied with heaven if Christ was not there? (emphasis mine)

A pertinent question that demands an introspective look, and deserves an honest response.

When you are done, ask yourself... Am I really in love?

I will be back when I'm done doing just that.



Be blessed!
