Driving on Purpose

Our church is currently in the midst of going through a “40 Days of Purpose” campaign. It is based on material developed by Rick Warren from Saddleback Christian Church. As we go through this 40 days we hear sermons, read from “The Purpose Driven Life” and most importantly get involved in a small group. One of the questions last week had to do with finding purpose in life when we do not understand or believe the fundamental truth that we are called to love God and love others. The more I keep thinking about that question, the more I keep thinking how hollow life must be when there is no intrinsic reason for doing good. I got on the road this morning to come to work and there was this car
this car in front of me in traffic that had like 10 bumper stickers on the back of it. It was pretty much any liberal cause you could think of from saving trees to FREE TIBET. I mean come on people, do we think that someone from the communist chinese government might be diriving around at PCH & Warner at 9am on a random Friday, see the sticker and think… gee maybe we should reconsider our stance on Tibet. My honest reaction is okay… so what if Tibet is free, what is that guy going to worry about next? If there is no purpose that is greater than him then likely he will just move on to the next cause simply because he will still not be satisfied. That is not to say that we should not champion social justice, but we should do it because God calls us to love people, because he loves us!
Okay, now it is time to get to setting up Cornerstone Hall for Overdrive this weekend… not sure what I am talking about… come check it out this weekend. Sunday at 9 & 10:30.
