What Really Matters

"Be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind-having a fresh mental and spiritual attitude." Amplified Bible
Have you ever heard "there is more to life than things?" We all agree with this statement but yet most people are very much concerned with the things of this life rather than being concerned about spiritual matters.
The truly important things of life such as family, friends, health, contentment, laughter, helping others, peace and communion with the Lord can't be bought with a price. They are the free things in life.
One of the ways to get at the free things of life is to follow the advice of Sidney Lovett: "Give the best you have received from the past to the best that you may come to know in the future."
I don't know about you but the best I have received from the past was the night I received the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal Savior and Lord. So the purpose of this website is to give the best I have received from the past and give it to those who will take the time to read these pages and think about what is being said and act on it.
Every now and then take time to reflect on what you see in nature. Mountains, birds, flowers, trees, a star, a stream or some animal then it will help you to focus on the things that really matter. You will be reminded every time you see these things of nature that God made those things which we enjoy in this world.
Meditate on these "intangibles" around you and realize you are not alone as you spend your time with the very God that created those things. Take time to "smell the roses." Sit and look out a window or stand or sit in a garden and then undertake the important business of realizing what really matters in this short life of ours.
The bible says to meditate on those things which really matter in this life.
Philippians 4:8-9 (NKJV) ⁸ Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things.
⁹ The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you. To close I would like to remind you that nothing matters more than where you will spend eternity. Are you prepared for the hereafter? If not, it really matters that you take the time right now where you sit to ask Jesus Christ to forgive you and to save you from an eternity in hell and give you a home in heaven. If you mean business He will not turn you away. Then go to a church and be baptized. Read God's word each day to keep your focus on what really matters. Do what it says and you will find the things that really matter in life that will bring you joy beyond description. Remember these things are what really matters!
