If God exists then every good endeavor, even the simplest ones, pursued in response to God's calling can matter forever.

Faith in the gospel restructures our motivations, our self-understanding, our identity, and our view of the world.

We must feed on the gospel, as it were, digesting it and making it part of ourselves. That is how we grow.

Important reminder: It's not fair of you to demand more proof of Christians for their beliefs than you demand for your own.
