The Bible says:
"Remember now thy creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw neigh when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them." - Ecclesiastes 12:1. The worldly counterpart to this verse might be, "Live fast, die young, and leave a good looking corpse."
At best we live 100 years or so on this planet. Some live a little more, but many don't even make it out of their teenage years alive. Pop stars Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift got write ups in Christianity Today this month:
Why Do We Love to Hate Taylor Swift?
Jesus Loves Miley Cyrus
Like the rest of us, Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift would do well to "Remember now [their] creator in the days of [their] youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw neigh when [they] shalt say, [We] have no pleasure in them!"
The late Dr. Martin Lloyd Jones once said: "This life has got to end, and your soul will go on. What therefore will happen to you?"
Our Lord Jesus says:
"For what is a man [or a young pop star!] profited if he [she] shall gain the whole world and lose his [her] own soul? Or what shall a man [or a young pop star!] give in exchange for his [her] soul?" -Matthew 16:26
