What is your mission?

View all responses

My mission, my goal, and my deepest desires are to build my life on the best pillars. I want to build my life — my thoughts, feelings, desires, words, and behaviors — on the firm foundation of solid rock, not on sand that shifts and sinks. If you like my mission, here’s how you can apply it in your life.

Keep yourself aware of and focused on “Christ in you. the hope of glory.” Let His presence and the leadings, (Galatians 5:18) the gifts (1 Corinthians 12:1-11) and the fruit (Galatians 5:22-23) of His Spirit, and His direct personal revelation to you, (1 Corinthians 2:9-10) and His wisdom written in the Bible, (Hebrews 4:12) be the pillars that you are faithfully building the house of your life on. (Proverbs 9:1)

To seek first the kingdom — and pillars — of God (Matthew 6:33) allow Jesus to live inside of you (Colossians 1:27) and to be your absolute King, (John 18:37/Revelation 19:16) your risen Lord, and your glorious God. (John 28:20) Let Him rule, govern, and direct you from within, moment-by-moment. (Romans 8:14)

Christianity built on the sand of routine religion isn’t the same thing as Christianity that is built on the rock of direct, personal, ongoing revelation from (Matthew 16:17) and radical obedience to (John 14:15) the risen Jesus Christ. A sermon prepared by a mind might possibly reach a mind, but words shared from the heart as led by the Spirit can release God’s living water in people. Are you building your spiritual house on the sand or on the rock? (Matthew 7:24-27)

If you’re unwilling to forgive, (Matthew 6:15) to bless and pray for, (Luke 6:28) and to love your enemies (Luke 6:26-27) you’re building your life on sand. You don’t yet fully know what it means to love!

Beware of the sand and deceptions that are all around you. I have chosen to adore, follow, and obey the risen Jesus Himself as described by the Bible, and not to watch or be influenced by a show called “The Chosen” that distorts and fictionalizes who Jesus is and the things that He said and did! I have chosen to continually savor and devour the Bible and to faithfully stick with what it says about Jesus. I strive to continually discern and to avoid all of the deceptions about Jesus that religion and society are prompting and throwing at us.
