 "For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?"
-Jesus Christ Life is full of pressures, responsibilities, and pleasures, yet you only have a limited amount of time on this earth. It is difficult to manage and balance all of these things, to fulfill duties and to rest. The easiest thing to do is to get lost in those things that we like and ignore the things we don't. Some things have no profit at all, whether in this life or the next. Some have great profit in this world and no profit in the next. A person could build great wealth and a great reputation during their earthly life, only to find that when they die, none of it made any difference in eternity. On the other hand, a person could be poor and their name never found on any boards or businesses or in any newspapers, and in eternity find a great reward. So you must ask yourself, what are you investing in? Our time on this earth is short. Will you be able to enjoy the fruit of your labors forevermore or only for the next 5, 10, or 50 years? Ask the Lord to help you have a balanced life and an eternal reward. And study His word to evaluate how you are doing. In Christ, Mikey Moomey Pastoral Staff

I agree that there are some things in this life that has no value. Even if we think that we’re striving for success, we might still not be happy in the end. Maybe we are pursuing the wrong things. We should take some time and reflect how we live our life every day. I think the most important thing is that we know how to be happy and contented with what we currently have. Let’s share our blessings and know that making other people happy is the best feeling in the world. 3/13/2018 03:30:02 am
I always question myself if what is my worth in this world whenever I encounter difficulties in life. I know it is bad to question God for our existence, but sometimes I cannot hide the fact that we have to ask. We cannot know the answer because it has to be us to discover the answer. It is ironic that we help others in their hardest situations, but cannot help ourselves when we are in need. I do agree with you that life is full of pressures, responsibilities and pleasures, we just have to use them in the right way even if the situation is bad. 4/9/2018 01:14:08 am
As for me, we need to know what we really want in this life... So, I will really think of this question. 5/22/2018 02:18:52 pm
