An Inner Audit

If work weighs on you as your present obsession, if family is your exclusive loyalty, if your heart is set upon public persona, if earning more is the goal of your life, you need a purpose and a passion check - an inner audit.



"No one can serve two masters. For you will hate the one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money." - The Bible (Matthew 6:24)

Obsessions Worth the Cost?

You've got to decide whether your obsessions are worth the cost and energy put into them. It simply won't profit you to gain the whole world and lose your soul.



"And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?" - The Bible (Mark 8:36)

What are Your Foundational Values?

We can transliterate truth to beliefs, and translate beliefs into action points, but it takes a vital relationship with God to transfer truths and beliefs into foundational values and first floor activity in life.



"O LORD, do good to those who are good, whose hearts are in tune with You." - The Bible (Psalm 125:4)

How Will You Prioritize?

We are limited as to our resources - time, energy, money. If there is no way to prioritize among the many goods we can pursue, we will be torn by short-term and subjective considerations.



"Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding." - The Bible (Proverbs 3:5)

We are Limited

The worst danger of many high purposes is not the legitimacy of the pursuits, but the limitations of the pursuer.



"For we were born but yesterday and know nothing. Our days on earth are as fleeting as a shadow." - The Bible (Job 8:9)

Importance of Our Worldview

We all seek discovery moments, defining events, and decisive incidents - except that our interpretation of experience and integration of experience and integration of coincidence into direction depends on worldview premises.



"It is foolish to the Jews, who ask for signs from heaven. And it is foolish to the Greeks, who seek human wisdom." - The Bible (1 Corinthians 1:22)
