The P's to Living A Christian Life: Purpose

By M.S. Joyce and Mimi Blackwelder

Dear Reader,
As it is written in Romans 3:23-27:
"For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through shedding His blood, to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate His righteousness because, in His forbearance, He had left the sins committed unpunished- He did it to demonstrate His righteousness at present, to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus."

D. L. Moody, one of the greatest evangelist of the 19th century, presented the Holy Bible in a fun way. In the 1850's Moody had 1000 kids throughout Chicago attending Bible study every Sunday. He told exciting Bible stories about Samson, lions and giants.

Currently our church services are mainly attended by the older generation. A very small percentage of the people are children.
We need to do better with young people. Reaching the children while they are young is important if we want a strong church in the future.

We need to be fully committed to Christ Jesus and His church. Everyone needs to be fully aware that there are only two influential spiritual powers. The Holy Power of God and the evil power of the demonic realm. We need to recognize which one of these is influencing our life decisions. These powers will also influence others in our lives: To help put us on a righteous path or cause havoc in our lives. One power is out of love, and the other power wants to destroy life.

What is most important to God is His love for us and our love and commitment to Him- salvation, relationship and family, and loyalty to God. The dark side only has one goal: the eternal torment of your soul in the Realm of Darkness. Satan wants to steal your soul from God. His top choice of action is to get you to reject God, to hate creation, to hate God and to hate church. Satan is driven by pure hate, but he is also very crafty, very smart, and uses temptation in a very appealing and seductive way. On the flip side Satan does not receive Wisdom from God. True wisdom comes from God. Given to those who love God and live a Godly life.

Revelation 3:15-16
"I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other So, because you are lukewarm - neither hot nor cold- I am about to spit you out of my mouth."

Being a part-time Christian is a very tough life. When you shy away from the Lord or decide to ignore Him, God will do something to get your attention. Once you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, He will not let you go. Come back to the Church, confess your sins, give repentance, and recommit to the Lord.
