A factory of Idols


"The human heart is a factory of idols. It's not that we want something, it's that we want it too much." - John Calvin

Want to know the purpose of your life? Yearn to learn the destiny that you were created for, even before you were born?
Here it is, three simple, yet mind blowing realities that should determine how we all should live our lives.
Check it out...


1. My goal in life is to please God.
- II Cor. 5:9, Paul reminds us of our ambition, wherever we are, is to please Him!

2. I please God by being like Jesus Christ.
- Rom. 8: 29, Paul informs his readers that God predestined us to be conformed to the image of His Son

3. God knows I will not be perfect, but He does expect me to be growing!
- II Peter 3:18, Peter commands us to 'grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

We need to never forget "Just two choices on the shelf, pleasing God or pleasing self!"

Humans are created to be creatures of habit, make sure you're in the habit of pleasing God and not self.
