What is the purpose of life?
What is the purpose of life? Consider a car. It's designed to transport humans. That is what it was created to do. Now imagine, the car never gets driven, but just sits in the garage. At first the car doesn't care either.
Now, imagine that same car with a soul and a conscience. Weeks go by and the four-wheeled object remains in the garage. He feels anxious because something is missing. He's not exactly sure why, and he doesn't know what it is he needs, but he is spinning with desire to do something.
One day you take the keys, start the engine, and back the car out of the garage. You use the car to drive to work, to the store, and to church.
Your car is so excited, even somewhat exhilarated. Being driven, being steered down the highway, delivering you to your destination -- the car loves it.
By the end of the week, the car still feels like something is missing. Driving down the road was fun, and seeing the highway was great; but he just knows something is still missing.
He is used by you every day, has his gas tank refilled, and the tires love the roar, the sound of the engine; yet something is missing.
Your car longs for more, and thinks he just needs to add a few more miles to his odometer, then he will be satisfied.
Then, one day you use him to pick up friends. Gasoline prices have sky rocketed, so your buddies decide to save gas. The front seat and now the back are full of passengers and your car finally understands what he was designed for. He now knows his purpose in life. What joy comes when you know why you were created!
And so that brings us to you and your purpose of life. You are created in the image of our Lord and to have a relationship with Him. If you are sitting in the garage empty or driving through life without Him, you are not fulfilling your purpose. Having a relationship with Jesus is the only thing that will satisfy your soul.
Before you knew God, you had many great experiences and journies; but your heart remained restless until you found rest in that relationship with your Savior. Your true purpose of life is this relationship with Jesus.
Just as a car thirsts for gasoline to run, the only thing that will quench your soul and give you fulfillment is Jesus Christ. He is the living water you need.
You might be like the car, with the wanting and longing to get out of the garage stirring within. So search for the Lord! Drive toward the only relationship which can satisfy and you will find your purpose of life.
Remember, you are designed to have a relationship with Christ. So, drive straight into His arms. They are waiting to embrace you.

Oh my my my ,when you be still and listen...........I`ve been looking and looking and God`s voice was the bible all the time.....I am listening and looking .......thank*you Jesus for your through answer! digilient, don`t give up that would be my lesson, come on legs we are on the journey.....lets move! You are here: Prayer >> Hearing God's Voice
Hearing God's Voice - Are You Ready to Listen?
Hearing God's voice is something we all long for-but did you know that it's not hard to do? In fact, God wants you to hear His voice! He doesn't speak to us through a quiver in our liver or through vibes or mediums. Hearing the voice of God is as natural as hearing your best friend talk to you. What's more, we can hear Him everyday and not just on special occasions or by chanting special incantations. He speaks to us in the natural moments of life. Do you want to hear God's voice? Then you must be ready to listen.
Hearing God's Voice - Why Do You Want to Hear Him?
Why do you want to hear God's voice? That may sound like a silly question, but motives are important in anything we do. The Bible says this about God's Word: "For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." (Hebrews 4:12)
Do you want to hear God's voice? If you do, it's possible you're hearing Him already, for He may be the one giving you the longing to hear Him.
Hearing God's Voice in the Bible
In his book Knowing God, J. I. Packer says, "God has spoken to man, and the Bible is His Word, given to us to make us wise unto salvation."
The Bible itself declares, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1). In another place, we read: "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness." (2 Timothy 3:16).
You may hear people say that the Bible is just a book written by men, but the Bible itself claims to be God's Word! Can we rely on it? The evidence of history, archaeology, fulfilled prophecy and personal testimony over thousands of years is overwhelming that the Bible is, indeed, God's Word. Do you want to hear God's voice? Then read the Bible. Find a good daily reading plan, and stick to it.
Hearing God's Voice through Prayer
When you want to have a conversation with someone, how do you begin? Do you stand in front of the person and hope they will talk to you? That might work, if the other person is outgoing enough, but usually we begin a conversation by opening our own mouths and talking, engaging the other person's attention. It's the same with God! He loves to hear us talk to Him, and it's in those moments that we prepare ourselves to hear the voice of God. Prayer is like saying, "Hello, God, it's me. I believe You created me and that You know way more about how I should live my life than I do. I'd like to get to know You better. Here's what's going on in my life, and I'd sure like Your thoughts on how to handle it. Would You please speak to me about this today?"
In an ordinary conversation, we speak, then listen for the response of the other person. It's the same with God! Once we've prepared our hearts to listen through prayer, we're more likely to hear the voice of God. Does He speak to us through an audible voice? Some claim He does, but usually that's not the case. We may not actually "hear" the voice of God, but He speaks to us in many ways. Here are some of them:
- God speaks through His Word
- God speaks through our thoughts
- God speaks through conversations with others
- God speaks through circumstances
Hearing God's Voice through Jesus
The Bible also tells us that Jesus is God in the flesh. Therefore, if you want to hear the voice of God, you must study and know the teachings of Jesus. Here's how John describes Him: "That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched - this we proclaim concerning the Word of life." (1 John 1:1). You must also have a personal relationship with Jesus. Have you ever tried to carry on a conversation of any depth with a person you did not know? It doesn't usually go very far.
Shortly before He was crucified, Jesus met with His disciples to reassure them of what would happen after He was gone. He promised them a helper: "And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever - the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you." (John 14:16-17). The Holy Spirit, then, is the fulfillment of the way we hear God's voice!
Hearing God's Voice with the Help of the Holy Spirit
"But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you." (John 14:26). The second chapter of Acts describes the events that occurred on the day of Pentecost, after Jesus ascended into Heaven. Verse 3 says they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, the Counselor promised by Jesus. This unique aspect of God's personality did not come to them as someone they could see and touch, but rather He came to live inside them. That same Spirit is available to you and me today. Are you a Christian? If so, you already have the Holy Spirit available to you. Ask God for a fresh filling everyday, and He will prepare your heart to hear God's voice. His Spirit, that still, small voice inside you, is the One who will remind you of what God said, and help you recognize God's opportunities in your life.
Hearing God's Voice - Conclusion of the Matter
So we have the Bible, prayer, Jesus, the Holy Spirit and our own hearts to help us in hearing God's voice. Do you want to hear God's voice? That is the final question, for God responds to willing hearts. In the book of Revelation, we read: "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me." (Revelation 3:20). God will never force you to obey Him, but waits for your willing response to His call. Are you hearing His voice right now? Don't let your final answer be the wrong one.

Knowing God's Will - Insight from George Müller
When it came to knowing God's will, George Müller (1805-1898), an English evangelist and philanthropist, was remarkably and humbly gifted. A man of faith and prayer, Müller established orphanages in Bristol and founded the Scriptural Knowledge Institution for Home and Abroad. The following are wonderful excerpts from one of his essays.
Knowing God's Will - How to Ascertain the Will of God
Knowing God's will is the key to prayer, spiritual growth and fruitfulness in our individual lives. Here's how George Müller set out to ascertain the will of God on a daily basis:
- I seek at the beginning to get my heart into such a state that it has no will of its own in regard to a given matter. Nine-tenths of the trouble with people generally is just here. Nine-tenths of the difficulties are over come when our hearts are ready to do the Lord's will, whatever it may be. When one is truly in this state, it is usually but a little way to the knowledge of what His will is.
- Having done this, I do not leave the result to feeling or simple impression. If so, I make myself liable to great delusions.
- I seek the Will of the Spirit of God through, or in connection with, the Word of God. The Spirit and the Word must be combined. If I look to the Spirit alone without the Word, I lay myself open to great delusions also. If the Holy Ghost guides us at all, He will do it according to the Scriptures and never contrary to them.
- Next I take into account providential circumstances. These often plainly indicate God's Will in connection with His Word and Spirit.
- I ask God in prayer to reveal His Will to me aright.
- Thus, through prayer to God, the study of the Word, and reflection, I come to a deliberate judgment according to the best of my ability and knowledge, and if my mind is thus at peace, and continues so after two or three more petitions, I proceed accordingly. In trivial matters, and in transactions involving most important issues, I have found this method always effective.
Knowing God's Will - The Key to Everything!
Christ taught us that knowing God's will and living in obedience to that will is the key to it all! God is the potter; we are the clay. God keeps us spinning on His potter's wheel, shaping and reshaping us as He bathes our lives in tears to make us more Christ-like so He can use us for His will. Surrender daily. Keep your clay moist through daily prayer - prayer that's in accordance to His will.

CAPABILITIES
by Charles R. Swindoll
1 Corinthians 12—slowly and aloud!
Have you ever noticed how uniquely adapted each animal is to its environment and its way of life? On land, a duck waddles along ungainly on its webbed feet. In the water, it glides along smooth as glass. The rabbit runs with ease and great bursts of speed, but I've never seen one swimming laps. The squirrel climbs anything in sight but cannot fly (unless you count great airborne leaps from limb to limb), while the eagle soars to mountaintops.
What's true of creatures in the forest is true of Christians in the family. God has not made us all the same. He never intended to. He planned that there be differences, unique capabilities, variations in the Body. So concerned was He that we realize this, He spelled it out several times in His Word. I charge you to take the time to read 1 Corinthians 12 slowly and aloud. Those thirty-one verses tell us about His desires and designs—which are more attractive than any thirty-one flavors!
The subject is commonly called "spiritual gifts," and it is as helpful as any truth the believer can ever know. In a nutshell, here's the scoop.
God has placed you in His family and given you a certain mixture that makes you unique. No mixture is insignificant! That mix pleases Him completely. Nobody else is exactly like you. That should bring you pleasure, too.
When you operate in your realm of capabilities, you will excel and the whole Body will benefit . . . and you will experience incredible satisfaction. When others operate in their realm, then balance, unity, and health automatically occur in the Body. It's amazing!
But when you compare . . . or force . . . or entertain expectations that reach beyond your or others' God-given capabilities, then you can expect frustration, discouragement, mediocrity, and, in the long run, defeat.
If God made you a duck saint—you're a duck, friend. Swim like mad but don't get bent out of shape because you wobble when you run. Furthermore, if you're an eagle saint, stop expecting squirrel saints to soar . . . or rabbit saints to build the same kind of nests you do.
Accept your spiritual species. Cultivate your capabilities. Stop comparing. Enjoy being you!
No one else is exactly like you. Cultivate your capabilities. Refuse to compare or control. | July 24

I have been on the net looking at christian blogs and not understanding it seems to be above...... me when I read the bible.........there are so many questions about what you say .....how you say it............how you feel............its very hard to read the bible and believe thats what it says. In my head I see a certain verse and they are 20 doors and each one means it differently. There is so much dissension in the what the bible says.......according to christian blogs........high minded indviduals..............learned individuals........how did King Solomon get so smart?

| the mystery of God`s kindness by James McDonald
|
This I feel is revelant to my life, today a friend Cindy a childhood friend I have knowned since I was 14 ...38 years.........so many poroblems health financial in every aspect of her life. Telling her about God she seems impatient and I cannot comfort her I told her I would pray for her but she needs to eat a roof over head health........I look to God ........I pray to God..........and wait for the outcome l*************So, when He heard that Lazarus was ill, He stayed two days longer in the place where He was. . . ." John 11:1, 5-6
I think my Bible has a misprint. John 11:6 says when Jesus heard that Lazarus was sick, 'He stayed away two days longer.' Is that what your Bible says? He stayed away from Mary and Martha and Lazarus . . . longer?
Nobody does that. If you hear that someone you love is in trouble, you get over to them fast. Three times in the surrounding verses we read how deeply Jesus loved these three friends. So why did He stay away?
We can totally understand why Martha's face had a big question mark, "Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died."
This is the hardest moment in any crisis. From our perspective, the problem is growing, the prayers are rising, but the provision does not come. We draw a dotted line from delay to deception and conclude that God doesn't love us and then spend many dark, disappointing nights believing our own lie.
Here's an important truth gleaned from this situation: God doesn't love the way we love. What appears unloving may in fact be the greatest kindness of all. We expect God to work our solution on our timetable. Can you imagine the complexity of the tapestry God is weaving in the universe? We're over here in our limited little corner without a clue about what's going on in the bigger picture. Faith says that what God is doing is right-even when we don't understand.
I believe the whole tapestry will unfold for us someday, but for now I have to believe in spite of what I see that He is after my good and His glory in every situation. I must trust that what appears unloving may in fact be His greatest kindness.
Take hold of this with both hands: God is at work in your times of crisis. Whatever is challenging and stretching you right now in your family, your workplace, or in your personal walk with God-He is at work in that. He is building your faith in every circumstance. He knows all about that thing that is breaking your heart. Will you believe He is at work | July 19

THE DEPTHS
by Charles R. Swindoll
Romans 11:33-36
Anyone who loves the sea has a romance with it as well as a respect for it. The mind moves into another gear as the primeval rhythms of the seashore erode tidy resolutions and hectic deadlines.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh beautifully describes this in her classic Gift from the Sea . . .
The mind . . . begins to drift, to play, to turn over in gentle careless rolls like those lazy waves on the beach. One never knows what chance treasures these easy unconscious rollers may toss up, on the smooth white sand of the conscious mind; what perfectly rounded stone, what rare shell from the ocean floor. . . .
But it must not be sought for or—heaven forbid!—dug for. No, no dredging of the sea-bottom here. That would defeat one's purpose. The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. To dig for treasures shows not only impatience and greed, but lack of faith. Patience, patience, patience, is what the sea teaches. Patience and faith. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach—waiting for a gift from the sea.
What is hidden in the sea is also hidden in God's wisdom.
"We speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God predestined before the ages to our glory; the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it they would not have crucified the Lord of glory; but just as it is written, 'THINGS WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD, AND WHICH HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HEART OF MAN, ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.' For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God." (1 Cor. 2:7-10)
Those fathomless truths about Him and those profound insights from Him produce within us a wisdom that enables us to think with Him. Such wisdom comes from His Spirit who, alone, can plumb the depths and reveal His mind.
The hurried, the greedy, the impatient cannot enter into such mysteries. God grants such understanding only to those who wait in silence . . . who respect "the depths of God." It takes time. It calls for solitude.
Get alone with God and gain a new respect for His wisdom. It won't come in a hurry. Don't be afraid to seek the depths. Ideally, find a beach where you can stroll, a weather-beaten bench where you can sit and think . . . where you can be still and know . . .

I get tidbits of answers coming from God when I question were I`m going and what I`m doing. The answers come from God in** songs **the Bible or on the net ! It always seems when I look up to other Christians how to act and learn they seem to just know or hear or understand God. I must be deaf and slow because I hear and understand nothing! Maybe it comes after a couple of years........like being a 9th grader and the seniors seem to know everything and are comfortable and not anxious.........maybe a few years under my belt will give me the assurance of knowing the Bible and much of it memorized! I have looked up many areas pertaining to homsexuality and found a really revelantanswer to the Pastor of a Gay church said and its members quote the bible that its ok to live there lifestyle.

Suffering Makes Us Strong
"The strongest oak tree of the forest is not the one that is protected from the storm and hidden from the sun. It's the one that stands in the open where it is compelled to struggle for its existence against the winds and rains and the scorching sun." This thought, attributed to writer Napoleon Hill (1883-1970), still rings true today.
Storms will come in every life, and we must build our house upon the Rock, Jesus Christ, in order to survive. "Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock" (Matthew 7:24-25). Just like the oak tree, we can send out long roots and become strong through Christ and endure any storm | July 12

I really liked this, peer pressure is real strong in our life and I have learned following the crowd isn`t the right thing to do. I have pondered and read scriptures to make sure I was not wronging a group of people and I did find what I was looking for in JUDE. Homosexuality was mentioned in Genesis, Leviticus and Romans but also in Jude which is right before Revelations. The argument that it was written before Christ and when Jesus came it was done away with..........The whole Bible is revelant not just parts and I find many non Christians and sometimes Christians take a few sentences and quote it, but.......if I open any book and read a sentence will it tell me about the book.....will it tell me who is in the book........willI understand it..........course not, reading cover to cover ......thinking about it gives me this information.

PEER PRESSURE
by Charles R. Swindoll
1 Peter 2:20-24
Once a spider built a beautiful web in an old house. He kept it clean and shiny so that flies would patronize it. The minute he got a "customer" he would clean up after him so the other flies would not get suspicious.
Then one day this fairly intelligent fly came buzzing by the clean spiderweb. Old man spider called out, "Come in and sit." But the fairly intelligent fly said, "No sir, I don't see other flies in your house, and I am not going in alone!"
Presently the fly saw on the floor below him a large crowd of flies dancing around on a piece of brown paper. He was delighted! He was not afraid if lots of flies were doing it. So he came in for a landing.
Just before he landed, a bee zoomed by, saying, "Don't land there, stupid. That's flypaper!" But the fairly intelligent fly shouted back, "Don't be silly. Those flies are dancing. There's a big crowd there. Everybody's doing it. That many flies can't be wrong!" Well, you know what happened. He died on the spot.
Some of us want to be in the crowd so badly we end up in a mess because we didn't listen or search out a situation.
What does it profit a fly (or a person) if he escapes the web only to end up in the glue?

| online chaplain from Iraq soon to be home bound
|
TO the MEN AND WOMEN doing**done* military service , and the ones who gave there all, the families they left...........THANK*YOU my prayer to God please bless there lives and give them peace......................the sermon of the online chaplain sshhh listen..............................."The 4th of July" from "The Online Chaplain"
Lately, I have heard a number of people (intellectuals) comment that patriotism and faith do not mix well. Their claim has been that somehow being patriotic and Christian are opposing ideologies. Sometimes, pastors will not even allow the American flag to be in the sanctuary of the church. I would like to present a differing viewpoint for your consideration.
Psalm One begins by saying, "Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked…but his delight is in the law of the Lord and on that Law he meditates day and night." The word 'meditate' in this verse is also the Hebrew word for remember, and the word "Law" is also the word for teaching. So, to paraphrase this passage I would say, "Blessed is the person….who remembers what God has taught them." As Christians, we are the remembering folks. We remember the blessings and the teachings of God.
On this 4th of July I remember these things. In forty-four years no one has ever oppressed me. There have been no invading armies. There has been no threat on my life. I have had the freedom to come and go as I please. I have chosen my career and made all major decisions in my life without coercion. I elect my leaders, whereas half of the planet's leaders have become so by force. Soon, I will be able to get in my car and drive to either of my nation's seashores. There would be no checkpoints and no armed guards to question my travel. All of this I enjoy, although I have not paid for it. It is the product of a developing ideology called democracy that has produced a nation where no one person, group or entity is able to suppress another.
As Christian Patriots, our role is simply to remember. Not with a blind ignorance and complacency, but with a grateful, informed and remembering heart. The flag and the 4th of July are not graven images. They are reminders to remember with grateful hearts. So, let us remember to join in one voice and say, "We will not forget!"

This was a response to an article that was posted in the AZ Daily News http://www.azstarnet.com/allheadlines/190018.php on Monday July 2 , I had to put my 2 cents in, but it just makes me sad that even when the bible specifically says its wrong that many people read between the lines to make the sin acceptable. I went online to find out there views and many cite references in the bible that could lead to a homosexual liason.............I found it specifically states homosexuality1 Cor. 6:9-10, "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God *******sin in any form is sin none of it is acceptable to God. I also have to learn that lesson ........white lies,anger with my kids and husband, cussing,....I myself have a long ways to go to, so my walk goes....... firmly on the path with Jesus and finding my God! Hi my name is Nancy and I proudly attend TCC Church "The Cool Church" with my family. Just for the record The Church does not CATER to young people "The church CATERS to God" and "The Church" are us "the attendees! The Bible and what God says is what is taught. If the Bible says " its sin" Lev. 18:22*******Lev. 20:13*********1 Cor. 6:9-10,
Rom. 1:26-28*****that's what it is. God [Our parent, Our Father} makes the rules not man, Satan tried to…… and look were he's at! We are all sinners and to be a child of God we accept Jesus and follow him and try and obey [follow the rules] . Some of us stumble quite frequently But the good news is …. Jesus is their to save us! Pastor David is really understandable and making the bible come alive! I thoroughly enjoy my Sunday church and finding out about God. The information of why homosexuality is out there is what I do as a parent for my kids. If they are doing something wrong that God has said is a sin "I" show them why they shouldn't do it….….what happens if they do it…..….where it leads to……...how it affects people around them……….and find the help they need to stop it…and monitor them until they are able to stand on there own….that's what a good parent does, much like Pastor David and Pastor Andy and Pastor Juan. As for "love thy neighbor" we do ! there is no condemnation shouting or screaming just "it is sin".................................................. come to Jesus. The organization "Southern Poverty Law Center" on the web has the founder Morris Dees as being not to honest when I tried to find out more about the article you wrote. Thanks for letting me be heard, and please come to church! Thank*you, |

I have reread my current posting and I seem to forget to be thankful to Jesus and God. I have a real hard time showing thankfulness, I wonder why that is??? I have nowhere to go, no one to be........A future that I mark day by day, it seems I travel down a road that goes up and down. I can never see over the hill so I can plan my [our] future ...I get uneasy with no control over my life being blown this way and that.........................so I when I shade my eyes and pushup to see it is devastating. In psalms 7 I think King David speaks of groanings and a couch being soaked with tears I can identify with those feelings. Praying and keeping my feet on his path is all that I can do. I suppose if I could do more I would walk away and not have God and Jesus the center of my life. I am certain there is a big lesson in there and I sure hope I learn it soon, its uncomfortable! I picture God with billions of people hanging on to his clothes
.......kids!!!!!!! time for dinner and a SPANKING!
Thankyou Jesus for all my blessings!
