Staring at sunset

Philosophical

  • Basic human instinct desires self awareness and the truth
  • There is more to life than living, surviving, and dying
  • We have a deep internal desire to go beyond ourselves, to make a mark in life and/or to influence others
  • Our real purpose is far greater than self satisfaction, material acquisition, or a “pride of life”
  • True freedom is not simply the ability to do or choose what ever you want but freedom from suppression, slavery, or total control over every aspect of our life
  • Whether we realize it or not, we are in a spiritual war for our souls and our influence on others
  • Good and evil are not morally relative and can not be rationalized
  • There is life after death somewhere and for everyone
  • Through God; faith, hope, and love are the greatest forces in the universe
  • There are different types and graduated levels of real love.
Observations

Spiritual

  • We have been created by God to have a one-on-one interpersonal relationship with Him (Relationshiptheology.org)
  • We have a void in our souls only fill able by God
  • The Lord has the best possible plan for your life
  • God’s plan includes inspiration, direction, purpose, and protection
  • The closer we interact with God and trust and obey His word, the greater we experience His Love and fulfill the unseen dreams of our heart
  • Evil attempts to deceive, divide, and destroy our influence and lives
  • There is an unending attempt to demoralize, discourage, and dim our light given to us by God
  • Reading the Bible and going to church are just the beginning: our actions and application of God’s word are revealed by the fruits of the Spirit
  • The Lord has been patiently waiting for you to repent, depend on Him, purify your life, and live eternally with Him.
