IHS TOGETHER / EVANGELICAL CHURCH ALLIANCE INTL.

Our Purpose in Living

        I attended a memorial service this week. One part of the service was the eulogy. The eulogy was given by the son. The son paid tribute to his father and the relationship they had together. The son focused his tribute on the value of his father's service to his family, nation, community and church. 

The focus of his fathers' life was that of service for others. What greater purpose is there in our lives than service?  

        In the gospel of Matthew, chapter 16, verse 25, we read, "For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it."  Our spiritual discipleship requires us to make a real commitment of service. That commitment of service gives a purpose in our lives in all that we do.  I believe we can lose our intended purpose when we do not have a commitment to service in our lives. Without that purpose of service, we become selfish, territorial, negative etc.. When we have that commitment to service, our purpose becomes just the opposite.  We want what benefits others.  We see a greater good other than ourselves. Our witness of discipleship is seen and draws others to have that same relationship with God.  What we will discover in our service is our real purpose in living, which is our service to each other.

Whaz u----------p?

            No doubt a majority of you watched the Superbowl game, at least for awhile.  Some were watching it for the game; others were watching it for the commercials.  I must admit that there was quite a variety of commercials.  One of the most intriguing commercials was exploring the different ways that a person can say, “Whaz u---------p?”

            God uses many different ways to ask us, “Whaz u--------p?”  He uses his Spirit, his Word, our conscience, and other people.  Matthew 6:8 states that your Father knows what you need before you ask him.  Despite the knowledge that He has, God still wants us to come to Him in prayer about every aspect of our lives.  God is concerned with what’s up in our lives, and He wants to have fellowship with us.  He is concerned about us in a very personal way.  From now on, every time you see those commercials, remember that God is also asking you the same question.

"Just As I Am Without One Plea"

Just as I am, without one plea,

But that Thy blood was shed for me,

And that Thou bid’st me come to Thee,

O Lamb of God, I come! I come!

Just as I am, and waiting not

To rid my soul of one dark blot;

To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot,

O Lamb of God, I come, I come!

Just as I am, though tossed about

With many a conflict, many a doubt;

Fightings within, and fears without,

O Lamb of God, I come, I come!

Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;

Sight, riches, healing of the mind;

Yes, all I need, in Thee to find,

O Lamb of God, I come, I come!

Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,

Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;

Because Thy promise I believe,

O Lamb of God, I come, I come!

Just as I am, Thy love unknown

Has broken every barrier down;

Now, to be Thine, yea, Thine alone,

O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
