Living to create an earthly legacy is a short-sighted goal.

Without God life makes no sense.

When Cain sinned, his guilt disconnected him from God’s presence, and God said, “You will be a restless wanderer on the earth.” 1

That describes most sessions today— the wanderings through doctrine manipulated by obligatory memories not of God.




The Bible says, “Obsession with self in these matters is a dead end; attention to God leads us out into the open, into a spacious, free life.” 2

Many people are driven by materialism.
Their desire to acquire becomes the whole goal of their lives.

This drive to always want more is based on the misconceptions that having more will make me more happy, more important, and more secure, but all three ideas are untrue.

Possessions only provide temporary happiness.


Because things do not change, we eventually become bored with them and then want newer, bigger, better versions. It’s also a myth that if I get more, I will be more important.

Self-worth and net worth are not the same. Your value is not determined by your valuables, and God says the most valuable things in life are not things!

The most common myth about money is that having more will make me more secure. It won’t. Wealth can be lost instantly through a variety of uncontrollable factors.

Real security can only be found in that which can never be taken from you—your relationship with God.

One day through correction perhaps much sooner than expectant a birth right will stand before God, and he will do an audit of it's marketeers lives, as final exam, before world.
First, “What did you do with my Son, Jesus Christ?” God won’t ask about religious backgrounds or doctrinal views. The only thing that will matter is, did you accept what Jesus did for you and did you learn to love and trust him? Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” 17

Second, “What did you do with what I gave you?” What did you do with your life—all the gifts, talents, opportunities, energy, relationships, and resources God gave you? Did you spend them on yourself, or did you use them for the purposes God made you for?”

Preparing John Q. Public to potentially live in dire consequence due to others has two central questions concerning those who follow the crowd usually get lost in it.

The first question may determine where you spend eternity.

The second question may determine what you do in eternity.

Being controlled by the opinions of others is a guaranteed way to miss God’s purposes for your life. Jesus said, “No one can serve two masters.” 5

There are other forces that can drive your life but all lead to the same dead end: unused potential, unnecessary stress, and an unfulfilled life.

Thinking about My Purpose

Point to Ponder: Living on purpose is the path to peace.

Verse to Remember: “You, Lord, give perfect peace to those who keep their purpose firm and put their trust in you.” Isaiah 26:3 (TEV)
