On Purpose by Joe Stowell

We . . . are being transformed into [Christ’s] image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. —2 Corinthians 3:18 Rick Warren’s The Purpose-Driven Life has had an unbelievable run on the best-seller lists. Its phenomenal appeal reminds us that believers and nonbelievers alike have a deep longing for a clear sense of purpose. We all want to know that our lives are involved in something worthwhile. Without a strong sense of calling and purpose, life is nothing more than routine busyness. Being a follower of Jesus gives us a distinct advantage when it comes to having a sense of purpose. The Westminster Catechism sums it up well when it says the “chief end of man” is to “glorify God and to enjoy Him forever.” Glorifying God means putting His character, His will, and His ways into action in all that we do. The apostle Paul reminded us that we “are being transformed into [Christ’s] image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord” (2 Cor. 3:18). The purpose of our lives is to let others see what God is like as they watch and experience His love through us. What a profound privilege it is to mirror God’s love, mercy, grace, justice, and righteousness to a world whose heart is “veiled” to God’s truth! (2 Cor.4:3-4). Our purpose is to show others less of us and more of Him. That’s living on purpose with a purpose! So let our lips and lives express The holy gospel we profess, So let our words and virtues shine To prove the doctrine all divine. —Watts The Christian’s purpose is to promote God’s plan.

Holy Moly it's Mold


Since I have discover that I have been a victim of mold. I would like to set up a business that helps the people that are victims of mold (renting a property) or brought a home that already had the mold. I will be using SCORE mentor to help me with setting up the business and getting the business plan done. For things that I can't do, I will hire someone to do them. Just remember things like this take some time. I will say give me at least six months once I receive an adequate amount of money to set things up for the business. Thanks for your support. Many states don't have a regulation for mold. Just call EPA or some other agency. Hopefully, the first one I will set up will be in Mississippi.
