    Is God’s overriding purpose in our lives to make us happy, or to make us holy?

    What is God’s purpose for your life? Have you ever wondered about that? I’m not referring to questions like, what career should you follow, or whom should you marry, or how many children should you have. I’m talking about the big picture – what is God’s overriding goal, His primary purpose, for the ...read more

    One of the basic instincts in people is to pursue after happiness. Or a better word would be to look for joy in life. The problem is that we look for it in all the wrong places.
