We're so engaged in doing things to achieve purposes of outer value that we forget the inner value, the rapture that is associated with being alive, is what it is all about.

Western Christians have imagined that, at the end of the day, God is going to throw the present space-time universe into a trashcan and we'll be sitting on clouds playing harps. The ultimate future that we're promised is much more interesting than that. It's new heavens and a new Earth with new bodies to live in.

I do not want to foresee the future. I am concerned with taking care of the present. God has given me no control over the moment following.

We should never let material things get ahead of God or become so important in our lives that we can't walk away from them if He tells us to. Anything you own that has a hold on you is a problem.

To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, today is big with blessings.

I do think it's important to live in the present because in that way you won't be living in a state of regret.

Let's be cautious about relying so much on material things that we have no energy left for the spiritual aspects of our lives.

People sacrifice the present for the future. But life is available only in the present. That is why we should walk in such a way that every step can bring us to the here and the now.
