“For a small reward, a man will hurry away on a long journey; while for eternal life, many will hardly take a single step.”
― Thomas a Kempis

“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

“When we look at the whole scope of this story line, we see clearly that Christianity is not only about getting one’s individual sins forgiven so we can go to heaven. That is an important means of God’s salvation, but not the final end or purpose of it. The purpose of Jesus’s coming is to put the whole world right, to renew and restore the creation, not to escape it. It is not just to bring personal forgiveness and peace, but also justice and shalom to the world. God created both the body and soul, and the resurrection of Jesus shows that he is going to redeem both body and soul. The work of the Spirit of God is not only to save souls but also to care and cultivate the face of the earth, the material world.”
― Timothy Keller, The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism
