     | 15,188 views

    I got this idea from a sermon I saw on SermonCentral. Very few fulfill the purpose of God in their lives so they never fully know the fulness of life God has for them.

I know that if we are to live any kind of “Righteous, Successful Christian Lives” we need to understand our “PURPOSE” in life, given by God! God ...read more

    Jesus asks us to be both salt AND light to impact the world around us for him. We need to be both, not one or the other. It’s a challenge!

    Making Jesus better known to others will complicate your life, but the rewards are out of this world! Getting married, or having children complicates things; but they’re worth it. Spending time with people who don’t know Jesus will complicate your life, but it’s so worth it. Ask a mother a few ...read more
