How do you live in this world - filled with wars and chaos - with no hope of redemption or things getting better, and just thing “yep, this is all there is, life is good”. As Christians, we have assurance, certainty and comfort in that Jesus is coming back to judge the world, destroy all the wicked and bring us to eternal life. Atheists don’t have that. Even worse, some even prefer to insult this God. What’s keeping me grounded in this life is the knowledge that God dictates when my life ends- not me.

          So?

          Is the love you have for your significant other worthless then? Is going abroad to experience new things worthless?

              I don’t share this position at all. Life is all about experiencing things, things that you can repeat, things that are once-in-a-lifetime and things that will stay with you.

        That which is eternal. Matthew 6:19-21

        Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

          Why does that verse bind me? I don’t accept that as the only reason to value anything.
