What is your purpose in life?

Is it to have a good time? Because there is so much more to life than a good time. Is it to become rich/famous? Because wealth and fame are fleeting. Is it to do good? To make the world a better place? How are you doing it?

We spend so much time on things that we forget that we are here to glorify God. Even churches make this mistake. They focus on something, for example, a new building, only to become "self-satisfied" or fearful of letting other groups use the building. If this happens, then the people have lost sight of the buildings purpose, to lead others to God.

So, what is YOUR purpose?

    I don't think the purpose for the Christian is to lead others to God. I think that is sometimes a result, but our purpose is to seek God and to let Him reveal Himself to us. God does that when we attempt to obey His command to love our neighbor as ourselves for where love is, there God is also.

    I am NOT here to glorify any mythical gods - I am here to help free humanity from the tyranny of religion.

    My purpose in life is to tell others about God and show them the light of Jesus Christ. I can't just keep Jesus Christ to myself. I want to share it with my friends, family, and anyone I care about. Because everyone has the right to know who created them.
