Thank you so much for taking that extra step in furthering your understanding
about what God's purpose is for your life and His Church here at Peace Lutheran
Church on earth. We are committed to being a purpose driven church.
Let me dispell the popular and secular notion of the world immediately. It is not
about you, but the life of a Christian should be purpose driven too.
It is about God your Creator, and your Father. It was His purpose, His decision
that you were born, and for His purpose.
The Bible says, "it is God who directs the lives of His creatures; everyone's life is in
his power." Meaningfulness is your life is not within, but being in harmony and
peace with Him who created you, and the purpose He has given.
Two great scriptures should be the basis for your personal ministry and the
ministry of this community of faith.
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your
mind....Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the prophets hang on these
two commandments." (Matthew 22:37-40)
"Go and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the Name of the Father and
of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have
commanded you." (Matthew 28:19-20)
As a result of the empowering Word of God that comes to us through the Bible,
the five purpose become clear for your life and that of the community of faith
that worships Him here.
Purpose #1 Love the Lord with all your heart.
Purpose #2 Love your neighbor as yourself
Purpose #3 Go and make disciples
Purpose #4 Baptize them
Purpose #5 Teaching them to obey.
