John Piper cautioned against chronological snobbery (judging value based on age/time period).
Truth, beauty, and goodness aren't determined by their existence in time.
David McCullough critiques modern technology (digital watch); it focuses only on now, not future/past.
Time is relative, and minutes are relative to the moments, that are created within it.

Two Types of Time: Chronos and Kairos

Chronos refers to clock time, managing time effectively.
Kairos prioritizes "redeeming the time" and recognizing important opportunities.
Kairos focuses on quality experiences, not just quick achievement.
Chronos involves managing schedules (calendar control)
Kairos uses intuition (perceiving Holy Spirit promptings)
Kairos values moments over minutes
Example "Kairos" practice - be 15 min early is an example of Chronos, the journey itself is Kairos

Being completely aware of the present moment
The ancient Greeks had two words for time (chronos and kairos).
