Not The Most Important Issues

Racism, global warming, abortion, homelessness, poverty, war, crime, AIDS, etc. are NOT the most important issues in life, Here's a quote:

And they would be wrong...in thinking that those issues are the most important issues in life.

They aren’t. They are life-and-death issues. But they are not the most important, because they deal with the relief of suffering during this brief earthly life, not the relief of suffering during the eternity that follows.

Or to put it positively, they deal with how to maximize well-being now for eighty years or so, but not with how to maximize well-being in the presence of God for eighty trillion years or so.

~From John Piper's message
