The Purpose Driven Life

It's not about you.

The purpose of your life is far greater than your own personal fulfillment, your peace of mind, or even your happiness. It's far greater than your family, your career, or even your wildest dreams and ambitions. If you want to know why you were placed on this planet, you must begin with God. You were born by his purpose and for his purpose.

The search for the purpose of life has puzzled people for thousands of years. That's because we typically begin at the wrong starting point-ourselves. We ask self-centered questions like What do I want to be? What should I do with my life? What are my goals, my ambitions, my dreams for my future? But focusing on ourselves will never reveal our life's purpose. The Bible says, "It is God who directs the lives of his creatures; everyone's life is in his power” Contrary to what many popular books, movies, and seminars tell you, you won't discover your life's meaning by looking within yourself. You've probably tried that already. You didn't create yourself, so there is no way you can tell yourself what you were created for! If I handed you an invention you had never seen before, you wouldn't know its purpose, and the invention itself wouldn't be able to tell you either. Only the creator or the owner's manual could reveal its purpose.

The desire of every young person is to find the missing bone! They want a sincere and peaceful home. They pray for it. They work for it. However, most young couple never had the experience because they missed the most important foundational aspects of the relationship- friendship. I said to a group of young people during a programme to court and marry their friends. They were confused. How can I marry my friend? Marrying my friend may make us too familiar with each other now. What will people say then? Then I asked, would you rather marry a stranger or your enemy? No one has ever marry a total stranger in the Bible. They were related one way or the other. In the same vein, friendship will “relate” you before the final decision is made. This friendship may not take too many years. It may be brief. But during this period, you relate well with each other. You relate freely. you laughed together without any reservation. You correct and affirm each other without any string attached. Your fr...

The Azusa Street Revival

GIVEN all the demands that press in upon us as we deal with the stress of the present moment and living in angst about what is to come, it is easy to become disconnected from our past. Why even bother with what has been? Yet, as someone has said, if we don’t learn from the past, we are doomed to repeat the past. That is the negative side of why we should study the history of the Church. The positive side is that there is much in the past that will inspire, breathe into us hope, and create fresh motivation for our own historical journey. History is the harbor of our heritage and the fountainhead of our families. Click Here To Download The Book
