God wants us to practice on Earth what we're going to do forever in eternity.

Living in light of eternity changes your priorities.

The first purpose of your life is to be loved by God! Yes, it is important to serve him, obey, and trust him, but your first purpose is to love him.

The only way to always be relevant is to focus on what's eternal. Everything in style will soon be out of style.

Now God has never shouted out to me. I've never heard God speak audibly. He doesn't have to.

The more you pray, the less you'll panic. The more you worship, the less you worry. You'll feel more patient and less pressured.

The ground we have in common with unbelievers is not the Bible, but our common needs, hurts, and interests as human beings. You cannot start with a text expecting the unchurched to be fascinated by it. You must first capture their attention, and then move them to the truth of God's Word. By starting with a topic that interests the unchurched and then showing what the Bible says about it, you can grab their attention, disarm prejudices, and create an interest in the Bible that wasn't there before.
