How will we live tomorrow?

“We live as if today is our very last day. We look forward to the inevitable, which is not death but eternal life. When Jesus was on earth he spoke of only two things: His Father and His Kingdom. On earth there are only two kingdoms: light and eternal darkness. They are in eternal conflict. One is motivated by love, the other by fear. If you’re operating from fear, you know where you are. It all goes back to the two trees: the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If things are complicated, it is because you are operating under the tree of the knowledge of good an evil.”

Michael Bushilla, Prayer Minister, Cottage Gove, MN
