Because God is with you all the time, no place is any closer to God than the place where you are right now.

I have the greater glory of God, the history is His story, that He is in charge and ultimately He knows what He's doing.

You can keep your own religion - Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Mormonism - you just need to add Jesus to the equation. Then you become complete. You become a Buddhist with Jesus, a Hindu with Jesus, a Muslim with Jesus and so on. You can throw out the term Christianity and still be a follower of Jesus. In fact, you can throw out the term Christian too. In some countries, you could be persecuted for calling yourself a Christian, and there is no need for that. Just ask Jesus into your heart, you don't have to identify yourself as a Christian.

Living in light of eternity changes your priorities.

This drive to always want more is based on the misconceptions that having more will make me more happy, more important, and more secure, but all three ideas are untrue. Possessions only provide temporary happiness. Because things do not change, we eventually become bored with them and then want newer, bigger, better versions.

We discover that meaning and purpose only when we make God the reference point of our lives.

Your spiritual family is even more important than our physical family because it will last forever.
