Jesus modeled a purpose-driven life, and he taught others how to live it, too. That was the "work" that brought glory to God.

We are not saved by good works; we are saved for good works. The Christian lifestyle is to be a lifestyle of goodness.

The search for the purpose of life has puzzled people for thousands of years. That’s because we typically begin at the wrong starting point—ourselves. We ask self-centered questions like What do I want to be? What should I do with my life? What are my goals, my ambitions, my dreams for my future? But focusing on ourselves will never reveal our life’s purpose.

If God only used perfect people, He would have no one to use.

We are all called to fulfill God's five purposes for our lives: to worship, to fellowship, to grow like Christ, to serve, and to be on mission with God in the world.

If you don't know how to do it, get around someone else who does.

If you are facing trouble right now, don't ask, “Why me?” Instead ask, “What do you want me to learn?” Then trust God and keep on doing what's right.
