"And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life.
I have written this to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know you have eternal life."
1 John 5:11-13 (NLT)
“Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God’s place in your hearts.”
1 John 5:21 (NLT)
“Son of man, these leaders have set up idols in their hearts.”

“We are distracted from distraction by distraction?”
T. S. Eliot
"Distraction is shifting our attention from something of greater importance to something of lesser importance. Our fundamental and most dangerous problem in distraction is in being distracted from God — our tendency to shift our attention orientation from the greatest Object in existence to countless lesser ones. The Bible calls this idolatry."
Jon Bloom - Lord, Deliver Me From Distraction
“You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You.”
