    Step Three - Pursuing Your Purpose Series

     | 16,368 views

    Someone who sits idly without a purpose is an easy target for temptation. We are easily drawn away when we don’t have a purpose we are reaching for. When we are reaching ahead, we have to stop and change directions in order to sin.

    Step Three - Pursuing Your Purpose The final step I want to focus on in overcoming sinful habits is your purpose. Each of our lives has been created by God for a purpose. As long as we are living outside of that purpose, there will be emptiness and a desire to crowd our lives with pleasures and ...read more

    Friends, our world is loud. The headlines shout, the inbox swells, the calendar crowds, and our thumbs have learned a liturgy—scroll, swipe, repeat. Have you felt it? That tug inside that says, “Keep going, don’t stop, there might be something just ahead,” even when your heart whispers, “Please, ...read more

    based on 25 ratings
     | 5,330 views

    The 10th commandment is as comprehensive as the first. Perhaps more than any other, it focuses on the interior of the human heart. It is not concerned so much with what we do, but with what we think. It is less about action and more about attitude
