Without the right purpose






"Without the right purpose, you will always be unsatisfied."

What is the purpose of people in life?
-Here are some friends' answers-

"To have many GF's for the rest of my life" -Richard

"To achieve more in candy crush" -Angel

"To have good grades" -Jake

"... to be successful" -Daniel

"Honor God and Make disciples!!!" -Catrina

"My  purpose is to be a blessing to others..." -Collins

"To glorify God!" -Patricia

"To share God's word!! Make disciples!!! Win souls!!" -Danica

"Live for God....." -Arnel

"To live for Christ who died for me." Elaine 

"To honor and glorify God." -Camille

The real meaning of purpose is in the Greek word Telos (purpose) meaning "an object to aim."

Purpose is something that makes a person or any being strive! But what if you have fulfill your purpose? What now? You'll sit there and wait for your lifetime to pass
? A real purpose is ongoing  and it can be passed to the next generation. A purpose must be given, not made. Well-made by the Maker of all things and passed throughout the generations.

How about you what's your purpose? Is that purpose genuine enough to stand and make a change? Can it be passed to the next generation?
"A thief comes only to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come so that they may have life and have it in abundance." -Jesus

"Free" Will

Free will comes with responsibility.


I had a discussion with an atheist about free will. His statement was, "Free will is the power of acting without the constraint of necessity or fate; the ability to act at one's own discretion," and I totally agree with it but having no responsibility for the DECISION one made is where I disagree. When I heard him out, he was pointing that people have choices and they have no commitment or responsibility about it. "I have free will, God MUST NOT punish me because of my free will."

Through Jesus Christ you can be free from those bad choices... "If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." -John 8:36 

"Though our feelings come and go, God's love for us does not" -C.S. Lewis

Ignite 2013

Three days of none stop glorification like on Mt.Sinai...
His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them. As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with wonder and ran to greet him. (Mark 9:3, 15 NIV)
Days of showing off God's reflection is coming. Are we showing His glory or we just want to share ours? The days of His harvest are approaching. Are we devoted to harvest or are we on our sheds sleeping?

"Christians needs to radically live out the Christian ethnic, which can't help but challenge ethnical systems." -Charles Colson
