### [Read the passage.](https://biblia.com/bible/esv/1John2.15-17)
Maybe it's just where I am in my Christian walk, but these verses are very convicting.
While I have long ago given up things that were obviously sinful, my thoughts are still often occupied with video games, delicious food, fantasy novels, and YouTube.
There's nothing wrong with a little of those things _per se_, but when they start to crowd out my prayers, meditations on the Scripture, and edifying conversations with fellow believers, that is a big problem.
One hundred years from now, no one will care how many games I completed, or what fun books I read.
Maybe my potential grandchildren will talk about what my favorite meals were, but the particulars don't matter.
Even this website will be turned off eventually, but it is my hope that each page I write as I study the Bible will earn for me an eternal treasure that can never be taken away.

Make me Your good and faithful servant.
