We can be so occupied with daily living that we forget what really matters—our faith. Yet we cannot afford to neglect our spiritual cultivation because doing so jeopardizes our hope of entering the heavenly kingdom.        Rather than treating our faith as an afterthought, we need to give it the place it deserves at the top of our priorities.       The theme articles in this issue bring us back to what really matters. They encourage us to focus on the hope of entering heaven because the things of this world will one day pass away. Instead of following the trends of the world, we should seek after the kingdom and righteousness of God. In this way, we will be able to truly live out a life dedicated to God.
