The Purpose of Life |
|
In the interview by Paul Bradshaw with Rick Warren, Rick said: People ask me, What is the purpose of life? And I respond: In a nutshell, life is preparation for eternity. We were made to last forever, and God wants us to be with Him in Heaven.
One day my heart is going to stop, and that will be the end of my body-- but not the end of me.
I may live 60 to 100 years on earth

EMAILS THAT HAVE COME IN
I wanted to let you know that your message changed my life. You shared the story of a girl who had survived through that terrible auto accident and lived to forgive the man, and are now trying to get him out of jail. The fact that she could forgive him, shocked me, and really made me start thinking. So now I tell you my story.
Three years ago, come August, I was the victim of a rape. A fourteen year old boy, whom I had met through a summer class, took advantage of me in my own home and scarred me for life I realized that I can forgive because of what Christ did on the cross
Hey! I go to Northwest High School. And I just wanted to Thank you for coming to my school today.
I can't even begin to tell you how much I appreciate what you do and why. So many teens die every year from committing suicide. And it kills me to even begin to think about why anyone would want to do that.
You are an inspiration, you are a hero, and you're a mind changer. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. It really hurt me inside to see what had happened to the girl who got hit by the drunk driver. And it really, really brought tears to my eyes, when I looked across that gym and saw all my other class mates with tears in their eyes, and to know that we could all relate.
One thing's for sure... I won't be picking up another alcoholic drink
Thanks Again. You will forever be in my heart, soul and mind. Please don't ever stop what you do, Because believe it or not...You are helping us, and we are finally, for once, listening.
I don't even know how much I can thank you. , I thank you. With every Breath I take I thank you, and with every muscle in my body I thank you!!!!!!
Thanks again!
We really do love your message that changes lives
Stay in contact ,
A Northwest Student.
hey bob =]
suicide. something you talked about and something i have contemplated before. I'm really nothing special. I haven't been recognized for anything worth while. School, home, its all the same for me. People there hate me and could honestly care less. most of my time at home is either spent crying or yelling. At school, I'm not like most kids. I don't have friends there.
We have a lot of speakers coming in and telling us, Don't do drugs, Don't drink, Don't give into peer pressure. It's the same thing over, and over again. but your message will DEFINITELY stand out to me, not only now, but I guarantee for the rest of my life.
You have made such an impact on me, I cant describe it. I also can't thank you enough for all that you gave me today. You didn't just stand up there and gave a speech to me, you gave me my life. Every time I think that my life is just totally useless, I'll think about this day and your message and will NEVER TAKE MY LIFE.
I am so grateful for all you gave me today.
Your new FRIEND
Morgan
DEAR BOB,
I AM SO THANKFULt that you were not ashamed to life up Christ in our school and the fact that you have been going all over the world doing this, moved and encouraged me beyond words. After hearing your message, it just totally made my day. It let me see that other people are really living by what they say they believe and going out and making a difference. Once again, I cannot express way I've felt ever since you spoke. I swear that the Lord's presence was in that gym today. Thank you thank you thank you thank you for getting up, going out, making a difference, and setting an example for all of us to follow in our lives. And by the way, I was chosen as class speaker for our 8th Grade Promotion last year and I gave to glory to God for everything that he's helped our class through in my speech in that same gym. I'm not saying this to brag about my accomplishments because I know our good works are like filthy rags in God's sight, but I am saying this to give glory and honor to Christ alone and to encourage you as you continue to shine your light in this world. Thank you so much once again and God bless you brother.
Sincerely,
Nathan

Did this story speak to you? Is God a part of your life?
If God's not a part of your life, or you're not sure He is, you can make sure right now.
We believe that God sent his son Jesus Christ to come to earth to live as a man.
We believe that everyone has sinned and no one is perfect.
We believe Jesus willingly went to the cross to die for all of us to forgive our sins.
We believe that the way to heaven is not through being a good person or through doing good deeds, but a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
You can have that today by praying this simple prayer:
God, I've messed up and have sinned against you. Please forgive me. I need you in my life. I believe that Jesus died on the cross to take the punishment of my sins and that you forgive me of all of my sins because of what Jesus did. Lord, I ask now that you fill me with your spirit and help me to live a life for you. Amen.
