God is Our Purpose

Have you ever asked what is my purpose in this crazy world? I sure have, many times. Oh, I’ve read Purpose Driven Life and taken plenty of Spiritual Gifts Inventories to figure out what I’m supposed to be doing. But it all boils down to this one thing whether we claim to know Jesus Christ and Jehovah God or not, God is Our Purpose.

The American Heritage Dictionary defines purpose as “the object for which something exists.” For the Bible believer Colossians 1:16 makes this clear: “all things were created by him and for him.” In other words, all things – not just people – exist for God.

So, you have the same purpose as the beauty of an untouched field of snow. The same purpose as the Grand Canyon. The same purpose as your pet iguana...or cat or dog. All of creation – including you and me – exists FOR God.

As you sit to spend a few minutes in intimate relationship with God, think about who you are addressing in prayer. You have come before the one and only purpose for which you exist. And he welcomes you with open arms. Picture that.

Campus America Event in Delaware

I would love to invite you to our Campus Ohio gathering happening in November. We are gathering students from all over the state to pray and worship and get excited about what God is doing. We would love to have any and all moms to come and hang out with us and pray with us at that event!

The event is happening on November 2 beginning at 7pm Liberty Presbyterian Church in Delaware Ohio. The address is 7080 Olentangy River Road in Delaware Ohio. The gathering will last until Saturday afternoon at 1pm with a feast to break our day of fasting! We're encouraging people to come for whatever part they can, it is not necessary to spend the night if you don't want to.

Please come and join us!! We would love to have you!! We are also trying to have a potluck to break our fast so if any of the moms who want to come would like to help us out with that we would love it!
