Summary of Readings
·
God
has made each of us and has placed us on this earth to live our lives and to
find a purpose for our being – our desire to know leads us to finding purpose
in a need to belong
·
Solomon
explored all facets of life to try and find a purpose, and concluded that the
ultimate solution was to fear God and Keep His commandments
·
Although
we appear to others as physical beings, observation shows that the dominant
purpose of existence is found in an understanding of the non-physical forces
and powers that exist around us
·
Faith
allows us to connect physical reality with the spiritual realm, and Jesus
explained that true purpose is found in seeking to live for others – sometimes we
may not understand why the purpose fills our quest for satisfaction!
·
We
believe an ultimate purpose is to be alive until Jesus Christ returns – to be preserved
wholly in spirit and soul and body - and to be changed and made as He is.
