Higher Purpose

Posted February 6, 2016 - God, Purpose


Everyone will be forgotten, nothing we do will make any difference, and all good endeavors, even the best will come to naught. Unless there is God. If the God of the Bible exists, and there is a True Reality beneath and behind this one, and this life is not the only life, then every good endeavor, even the simplest ones, pursued in response to God’s calling, can matter forever.

The EagleLaunch focalPOINT 2016 theme is “Making the most of Ourselves.”

Over the next several weeks I will be taking you through a step by step process in creating a Vision (dream with a plan) for your life that is aligned and grounded in your Purpose (what you are here for) and your Principles (what you stand for).

 

Do you believe there is life after this life? A life that goes on eternally?

How you live your life will be representative of how you answer that question.

I believe everything I do, no matter how big or small, makes an impact on not only the world I live in but the world of eternity. This belief forces me to try my best to present good stuff to the world and suppress the bad stuff the devil tries to stir up.

Once again, finding who you are is very dependent upon naming Whose you are and identifying Whose you are will help you clarify why you exist (your Purpose).

Having an eternal perspective on everything sure does change the way you think and act…at least it does for me.

Re-read the opening quote.

Who do you belong to?

Do you belong to the world or a higher calling?

Observe your thoughts, words and deeds for a week and you will know.

John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” (ESV)

P.E.A.C.E.
