Our world is obsessed with success. But how does God define success? Success in God's eyes is faithfulness to His calling.

It's sometimes comical to hear the younger generation ask their peers to repeat themselves.

You can't control the length of your life. You can control the depth

The philosopher says think your way out. The sensualist says play your way out but none of it works.

If God were to remove all evil from our world (but somehow leave human beings on the planet), it would mean that the essence of 'humanness' would be destroyed. We would become robots.

When we live apart from God, our lives get out of tune - out of harmony with others and with God. But if we live in tune with the Master, we, too, will find ourselves surrounded by His beautiful music. As this new year begins, ask God to help you tune your life every day to His Word, so you can bring harmony and joy to those around you.

Life is a glorious opportunity, if it is used to condition us for eternity. If we fail in this, though we succeed in everything else, our life will have been a failure.
