Live with Purpose: Discovering Joy and Making an Eternal Impact

Living a Life of Purpose and Joy

As we journey through life, it’s essential to remember that our time on earth is limited, and we will be held accountable for how we’ve spent our days. Beyond the legacy we leave for our families, what lasting impact will our lives have on the world?

Discovering God-Exalting Joy

According to John Piper, author of “Don’t Waste Your Life,” the key to a fulfilling life is finding joy in God’s majesty. However, this path comes with a warning: it will cost you your life. As Jesus said, “Whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s will save it” (Mark 8:35). In other words, it’s better to lose your life than to waste it.

Taking Risks and Making Sacrifices

Living a life that makes others glad in God requires taking risks and making sacrifices that matter for eternity. This free devotional, adapted from John Piper’s book, makes a passionate plea to avoid the dangers of a wasted life and calls us to live gladly for God’s sake.

Building a Foundation of Biblical Literacy

As adults, we can help children develop a strong foundation of biblical literacy from an early age. With intentionality and guidance, we can instill in them a love for God’s word that will last a lifetime.

Deepening Our Understanding of God’s Word

As Christians, we believe the Bible is the very word of God. It’s crucial that we spend time knowing and loving him through it. Whether through a 5-day study plan or a daily devotional, we can deepen our understanding of God’s word and its application to our lives.
