God has a purpose behind every problem.

The goal of 'The Purpose Driven Life' is to help people develop a heart for the world.

Without the grace of Jesus: a hopeless end. With the grace of Jesus: an endless hope.

It's easy to explain away evil. We have a free choice, and our greatest blessing is also our greatest curse, because I don't always make good choices. Other people make bad choices. I make bad choices. And sometimes we hurt other people. Sometimes intentionally, sometimes unintentionally.

I believe what Irenaeus said - the glory of God is a human being fully alive.

That's God's number one purpose, to make us like Christ.

There is nothing God won't do for the person totally absorbed with pleasing him.
