Living for Christ

I pray this for myself and fellow Christians.

"That you develop a wartime mentality and lifestyle; that you never forget that life is short, that billions of people hang in the balance of heaven and hell every day, that the love of money is spiritual suicide, that the goals of upward mobility (nicer clothes, cars, houses, vacations, food, hobbies) are a poor and dangerous substitute for the goals of living for Christ with all your might, and maximizing your joy in ministry to people's needs."

- From A Challenge to Women by John Piper

Why do I want to enter full-time ministry? Because 'billions of people hang in the balance of heaven and hell every day'. Life is short and nothing matters more than making Christ known, even as I know Him myself.
