THE PURPOSE OF LIFE



Be not deceived. The purpose of life is not to eat, drink, make money, become famous, and acquire lots and lots of material things. 

All birds, animals and organisms eat but that's not really their purpose; some are food, nourishment or other essential biological processes for humans and other aspects of creation, some are scavengers necessary for decomposition, albeit some are 'wild' and reserved for largely uninhabited places. 

The trees derive nourishment from Nature (soil, water and sunlight) but that's not necessarily their purpose; some are for food, nourishment, medicine, shelter, clothing, and many other very useful purposes for human activity as for the benefit of other living creatures. 

Humans need the good things of life for our physical and psychological wellbeing and sustenance but that's not the purpose of our lives. 

The purpose of life is to do the Will of God and be what He wants us to be, which is to be conformed to the Image of Christ. 

Success is not the acquisition of material things. 

Success is the fulfillment of God's purpose. 

Be not deceived. Readjust the internal compass of your heart, while there is time. 

It's not about how we started, it's about how we end this life. Realign your consciousness to God's ideals, as clearly written in The Sacred Scripture. 

The Blueprint is in the Bible. 

Study it sincerely for yourself. And when you pray, don't say religious prayers but just talk to God from your heart as the most loving Father that He is. 

God created us for a reason. We're not purposeless. 

We're Designer's original. Our design and operational manual is the Word of God. 

We were "created in His image and after His likeness". "We were created for His pleasure", to be like Him and to do His Will. May our lives be pleasing in His sight. 

He made us, we didn't make ourselves. We belong to Him. "We are the sheep of His pasture", and He is the Shepherd of our souls. He is our Father, we are His children. 

Come back to Him, if you've strayed as a prodigal child. He will completely forgive and restore you to Himself. 

If you're in Him, determine to know Him more and build a stronger relationship with Him. He knows what's best for us. His Will is the best thing we can ever do. For God is good. God is love. God is holy. 

May we perceive and pursue "the beauty of His holiness" and the awesomeness and attractiveness of Divine distinction in perfect righteousness. 

May we seek first His kingdom, lordship, governance, dominion, and His righteousness (His ways of doing things: being right and doing right). 

This is His will. It's all in His Word. Selah!

DESTROY THIS TEMPLE

Image
  "Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up."   The words of the Lord Jesus to the dangerous and conniving religious leaders of His day who sought to kill Him and thus to silence the Truth of Yahweh (YHWH). He said this in reply to their demand for a miraculous sign in query of the authority He had to chase the money changers and merchandise sellers from the Temple just after He had cleared the Temple of these economic profiteering activities in the (falsely) religious space.  This same Christ who is the Truth gave His Word and Spirit of Truth to His Apostles who, as He had done, also bore witness to the Truth even with their lives and passed the same Truth down to the Church, which is the Body of Christ, who is the Only Head of His One Body. Selah. To be clear, we don't need to chase any religious merchant from their self-owned religious centres or overturn any tables. We only need to "bear witness to The Truth" and "earnestly contend f

WORSHIP!

Image
  What is Worship? Worship is reverential adoration and devotion. It is the deeply embedded heart attitude and habitual practice of holding highest regard, giving supreme adulation, paying unparalleled homage, rendering foremost service or according topmost dedication to someone or something.  Human beings were designed to worship. This means, we are all naturally wired to be devoted to something or someone we reckon or perceive to be most grandiose or to be the greatest Thing or Being worthy of our keenest attention, truest affection, deepest love and highest loyalty. Everyone has something or someone they hold very dear, adore, cherish and esteem highly.  Some people, in a sense, worship or idolize the god of money, their careers, favorite celebrities, body, health, parents, romantic relationship, favorite child, cherished food, dream house, expensive jewelry, exquisite properties, prized possessions or accumulated assets.  There is that inward default faculty of Man to give reverenc

SCRIPTURE IS INERRANT AND SUFFICIENT

Image
  The Holy Scripture is inerrant and sufficient. Inerrant simply means incapable of being wrong. Sufficient of course means enough or adequate. To deny the inerrancy of Scripture is to call into question and cast doubt on the God revealed in the Scripture, on Christ who died, rose and is coming back as Judge and King, and on man’s salvation from eternal damnation which is solely based on the Cross and Work of Christ, the Word of God.  Scripture is either true or the God of the Bible, who is the God of love and righteousness, mercy and justice, grace and truth, revealed by and in the Lord Jesus Christ as “Our Father who is in Heaven” is not real but a fable or figment of man's imagination.  The Bible is the absolute truth of God. Albeit misunderstood and misused by so many in the false profession and practice of Christian religion for inglorious purposes and transient benefits, the Bible is essentially about the Gospel of Christ, which is the power of God unto salvation to everyone
