Created for God’s Purposes
Rick Warren says, “Without God, life has no purpose, and without purpose, life has no meaning. Without meaning, life has no significance or hope.” Thankfully, there IS a purpose to this life. In fact, “The Lord has made EVERYTHING for its specific purpose.” The Apostle Paul wrote “ For we are his workmanship, created in […]
Worship God in All You Do
Do you ever feel like you worship your work, work at your play, and play at your worship? This insight by Os Guinness is that probably many of us can relate to. Work was created by God to supply our physical needs. But, rather than seeing it as a necessary evil, we can approach work […]
