Pleading with You

One's supreme purpose forms an all-embracing passion, mission, and vision.



"And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all He has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice- the kind He will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship Him" -The Bible (Romans 12:1).

A Higher Purpose

We must will only the highest purpose- as the passion, mission, and vision of life.



"For I decided that while I was with you, I would forget everything except Jesus Christ, and the one who was crucified" -The Bible (I Corinthians 2:2).

What are you willing to die for?

What a person is willing to die for is what he or she is living for- the passion of his or her life.



"Yet preaching the Good News is not something I can boast about. I am compelled by God to do it. How terrible for me if I didn't preach the Good News!" -The Bible (I Corinthians 9:16).

Have you Prayed Today?

Prayerlessness is a definite mark of slavery to obsessions.



"You want what you don't have, so you scheme and kill to get it. You are jealous of what others have, but you can't get it, so you fight and wage war to take it away from them. Yet you don't have what you want because you don't ask God for it" -The bible (James 4:2).

Careful How You Live

A supreme purpose prevents us from falling into illusion, delusion, and confusion all of which result from the lack of a wise foundation. Our deepest purpose must come from above and beyond the human situation.



"So be careful how you live. Don't live like fools, but like those who are wise" -The Bible (Ephesians 5:15).

Self-Worth

A supreme purpose gives us a better orientation for identity, an umbrella to cover us during a self-flagellating downpour, a liberating protection from circumstantially or emotionally interpreted self-worth.



"Therefore, since God in His mercy has given us this new way, we never give up" -The Bible (II Corinthians 4:1)

Foundational Purpose

Beyondness and aboveness go together in objectifying the importance of the supreme, foundational purpose.



"Together, we are His house, built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets. And the cornerstone is Christ Jesus Himself. We are carefully joined together in Him, becoming a holy temple for the Lord" -The Bible (Ephesians 2:20-21).
