The purpose of your life is far greater than your own personal fulfillment, your peace of mind, or even your happiness. It's far greater than your family, your career, or even your wildest dreams and ambitions. If you want to know why you were placed on this planet, you must begin with God. You were born by his purpose and for his purpose.

Preach it! AMEN!!!!

Says who?

not sure i go with the god thing but i agree with the rest

Well, if he ever quits playing hide and seek maybe he’ll drop by and tell us what it is.

Until then there isn’t much we can do about it.

I'm still waiting for that purpose...I know it's somewhere, just can't seem to find it

(pssst... it's behind the couch.... I saw it there, when everyone hid there)

Thanks! Darn this age of mine

god's busy, may i help you?

why all the suffering?
if u think that God does not have anything to do with ur life, it's fine.
but be respectful enough to others who feel that God it's the purpose our lifes.
get a grip. and live ur life in your own terms, and allow others to live in their own terms.
if u ask respect give it first.
Very good post Yashafox.
AMEN TO THAT.

Why would you make a post telling people that you think they should not post. You are not the judge here. Anyone that wants to post can do so. This is not just for a few this is for everyone that wants to express themselves.
The only person that you can stop from posting here is yourself.



edit---

I get the feeling that you think you need to protect Yashafox. I think he is stronger then you think. He has never stooped to name calling that I have seen. He is always even tempered and expresses his point of view. I would think any interaction people had with him you guys would be happy about

mmmmmmmmmmmm
is it me? or we have virtual mosquitoes around?
such an annoyance!!!!!!!!

Says Rick Warren in the Purpose Filled Life. This is the second paragraph. The first says "It's not about you."

Stay tuned for more exciting Rick Warren adventures.

This book changed my life totally. It gave me a framework for faith, some things I've been trying to work out for 40 years have become clear to me in the last year, thanks to this book and thanks to my pastor and other churches I've gone to.

And now, I get to share the wealth with you. Waa hoo.

Enjoy the ride. It's gonna be a good one and I like every opinion expressed here, pro or con. Throw those brickbats. I want to hear them and see them. Compliments, questions, I'll take 'em.

Purpose of life? There's five. Worship, fellowship, discipleship, ministry and mission.

Life is a test, a trust and a temporary assignment.

You'll see. I'm gonna tell you.

If you want a copy of this book, check on the net for 'em or go to Wal Mart. The paper back version is just under $10 currently. I've bought a copy for many people I've worked with or dated or met.

Tennis, anyone?

Mr. Yashafox has been blessed with patience. I don't have that. And if you have the right to say that christianity it's an insanity, and christians are insane (which for me is name calling).
i have the right to say whatever I feel like it as well. After all this is an open forum. So u can say whatevet can come up from your mind as well as i can do the same.

Lonely Walker..Rabbit is right....He has every right to post here just like everyone else...and I am sure God would not be annoyed with him, my brother. .

Lets always walk in love with one another..even if we don't always agree....

Love is patient
Love is kind...
you know the rest ,My brother....

Then what good would free will be?

Correct. Everyone has the right to post here. Occasionally one needs to be reminded of the rules for posting though and if they cannot discuss topics within those parameters then it should be referred to the mods. That is what they are here for.

Free will is something God has given us and has blessed us with. I use mine to chose to follow him, to read his word, to pray to him, to fellowship with others, to minister to my fellow believers and to engage in mission, spreading the word about God to others.

Free will is used during our time here during our test, as God gives us trust with the resources we have and during our temporary assignment on earth.

What will you use your free will for?

I try, and God knows how hard I try.
But that is my biggest flaw.
Maybe someday i will be more humble.

the only "goal" i know of is dead at the end the rest is just filling
