TIME IS LIFE.
“Time is running out. Our lives are running out. You don't know when your last day on this planet is going to be. As a christian we need to invest our lives now. The investment of life now has a bearing on how your eternity will be as far as the joys go. ... Make your life count. This points to a disciplined life. We are to use our time wisely. Time is life and when it is gone, it is gone.”—Pastor Tom Cucuzza
