What's Your Purpose?
Some Christians are like thermometers. They go up and down depending on circumstances.
Other Christians are like thermostats. They control their situations by acting according to Godly wisdom.
This stability comes through having the Word of God as the priority in their lives and, as a result, having their focus on the person of Jesus Christ.
The stable Christian also has a clear sense of purpose. They understand that their purpose in life is to glorify God. The stable Christian is consumed with the desire to see God glorified.
Glorifying God basically means to live in response to His glory. By His glory we speak of the sum of all His perfect attributes. As we learn about the character of God through searching the Scripture and focusing on Christ we then seek to reflect that glory in our own lives. We let our light shine for Him.
At Believers Fellowship we want to glorify God in all we do.

Love this quote from Spurgeon: "'To whom be glory forever' (2 Tim. 4;18). This should be the single desire of the Christian. I take it that he should not have twenty wishes, but only one. He may desire to see his family brought up well, but only that 'to God may be glory forever.' He may wish for prosperity in business, but only so far as it may help him to promote this: 'to whom be glory forever.' He may desire to attain more gifts and more graces, but it should only be that 'to Him may be glory forever.' This one thing I know, Christian: You are not acting as you ought to do when you are moved by any other motive than the one motive of your Lord's glory."
