Christian LIfe
Team Building
Him because of my lack of Bible study .
Later , God revealed a scripture that crystalized my purpose and the collective purpose for all followers of Jesus . " Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength .' The second is this : ‘ Love your neighbor as yourself .’ There is no commandment greater than these ” ( Mark 12:30-31 NIV ). Wow ! There it was . Only this time , I had the whole picture which was to know , love and serve God . It was so apparent to Anna that it didn ' t occur to her the need to mention it . However , for so many like me , years can be spent fumbling around trying to “ figure God out ” versus devoting time toward learning the Word of God and gaining His wisdom . We miss knowing God more intimately by using the
former approach .
Through the same scripture , Mark 12:30- 31 , God ignited a calling on my life to inspire and equip Christian believers with the knowledge of how to love and serve God the way He intended . The mission is called 24 / 7 Purpose , and it ' s all about doing life God ' s way every day .
Our solution , at 24 / 7 Purpose , is an extension of the church designed for those who desire a formula to create a deeper intimacy with God and make Him number one every day , not just on Sunday . We use a practical approach defining a custom spiritual growth plan meeting believers exactly where they are today and with a roadmap for where they want to go . We use the best curriculum and personal assessments to unlock God-given strengths and spiritual gifts to align their passions and unique fulfillment of God ’ s purpose .
Millions of Christians are sick and tired of feeling held hostage to the rat race or living a mundane existence . Many find themselves in bondage to the pursuit of things , constant stimulation , and performance driven mindsets which are ruling their lives , too busy and distracted to position God as the number one priority . But when God is at the center of our intentions , life is balanced , alive and full of passion . Our focus shifts towards putting others before ourselves and our relationships become sweeter while the stress of petty situations fades away .
I wish that I had one more visit with Anna to let her know that she not only helped me find my purpose but God ' s ultimate calling on my life to establish 24 / 7 Purpose in His honor and glory . If anyone should ask me what his or her purpose is , I have the complete story , and it ' s to know , love and serve God every day , on purpose .
