Purpose
















Why are we here?  What is our purpose?  And what lies beyond the grave?  These thought-provoking  questions have never ceased to plague the minds of thousands.  One thing is certain - We are here.  That much we know.  But why?  Why are we here?  Are we seriously just the product of an evolutionary coincidence?  If so, what is there worth living for?  If we got here through sheer evolution, then absolutely nothing could lie beyond the grave other than nothing!  And how could we have moral standards?  How could there be right ad wrong?  All we can have is man-made rules and laws subject to change.  Nothing set in stone.  Yet right and wrong seem so clear.  Life without a purpose feels so empty.  Living for simply self-gratification just to sink into everlasting oblivion.  Perhaps there's more than this to life!  A reason why we're here?  A mission for us to fulfill?  The Bible has proven to be spot on historically.  Perhaps it might give some insight on our existence.

Genesis 1:27 says, "So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created he him."

Matthew 28:19 says, "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost."

Wow!  We were created in the image of a perfect and loving God, formed by God Himself!  And our sole purpose here is to tell others about His unending love, sacrifice, and soon return!   

 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." John 3:16,17

"Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.  In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you.  I go to prepare a place for you.  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."  John 14:1-3

Amazing!  He died for us, and He went to heaven
to prepare mansions for us!  What love!  There is a reason why we're here, a mission for us to fulfill.  Something worth living for, somewhere to go other than everlasting oblivion.  The Savior invites you today.  "Today if ye will hear His voice, harden not your heart."  Hebrews 3:15 

 "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."  Isaiah 1:18

 Jesus is coming soon!!!

Who Holds the Reins?

A horse gallops wildly through the deep dark woods. On its back rides a terrified girl, her small, weak hands clinging to the reins draped about her horses neck. Her dress is torn and dirty and her unraveled braids fly out behind her in a tangled and wind tossed mess. The trail, full of potholes, rocks and fallen logs, snakes its way through an ominously dark and dreary forest. Dark, sinister trees threaten to grab her and pull her off of her horse. At every bump in the trail, the girl bounces, nearly losing her grip. Her knuckles whiten as she tightens her grip on the reins. She looks down at the blur of rocks and logs racing beneath her and imagines with terror what would happen if she lost her grip. Behind her sits a Man, His face a picture of tender kindness and pity. He longs to help the girl who clings so desperately to the horses reins. The girl’s eyes, full of fear and blinded by tears, look imploringly at the One riding behind her. “Little girl,” He says, His eyes s...

On Thin Ice

It was a beautiful spring day. The sun shone brightly, making paths of light through the thick branches of tall pine trees. Little birds flitted through the branches and chirped merry songs.     Nearby, a boy stepped onto some melting ice. He nervously moved his feet, noticing little pools of water forming at every step. His eyes flashed and his mouth curved into a confident grin as he neared the center of the ice. He turned around and looked back at his friends who were watching him.    “Look at me!” He yelled and jumped on the ice. His friends gasped and told him to stop jumping.    “You might fall through!” they cried. But he only shrugged it off and laughed and began to jump some more, his feet pounded into the weakening ice. He didn’t notice the crack that had started to form and that was gradually getting larger with every jump. Then suddenly, without warning, he heard the ice splinter and felt freezing cold water begin engulf him. His friend...

Transformation

     A man walks down a beach, searching. His feet sink into the sand and waves lap at them with every step. He stops and stoops down to pick up a stone. A smile plays on the corners of his lips as he holds it in his hand. To the ordinary person, it’s a rough and beach-worn stone; chipped and full of imperfections. But as this man gazes at the stone, he sees past those chips and scratches, past its dull appearance, and sees in it a beautiful gem, full of possibilities      He slips the stone in his pocket, and takes it home to polish it. First he puts it in a tumbler with a bunch of other stones. As it is tumbles, its many imperfections are chipped away. When the man finally takes it out of the tumbler, he holds in his hand a beautiful gem, no longer the dull stone it once was. Then he carefully covers the whole stone with a layer of polish. Once it is dry, the man picks up the stone and rubs his finger along its smooth, glossy surface. A smile of satisfa...
