Underlined in a book I read a while back is the following:
“It often appears that those who talk the most about going to heaven when you die talk the least about bringing heaven to earth right now, as Jesus taught us to pray: “Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” At the same time, it often appears that those who talk the most about relieving suffering now talk the least about heaven when we die.”
So how do you weigh in.....
Agree?
Disagree?
Know someone like either?
Are you more like one versus the other?

I like it. I grow tired of the fear mongering around the second coming. Lets just live like Christians here.
Kind of brings to mind the old addage "too heavenly minded to do any earthly good." Jesus said "take no thought for tomorrow for tomorrow will take care of itself." I think we'd all do better if we concentrated on the here and now, and how we can make the world a better place instead of resigning to the fact it will never get better and just waiting to die.
