* It's good to suffer loss, for it draws me to the Cross where God's loss is more than what anyone ever lost. * We cannot hear what the stories of the Bible are saying until we hear them as stories about ourselves. * Let go of control. * Trust God. Thank God. Think about God. Talk to God. Talk about God.

A Life Goal, A Single Master Passion

 
From the Sun sermon, D is for Daily, we considered two questions:
  1. What do you do with your life daily?
  2. What do you think about daily?

Then we considered 10 practical applications. Among them, we suggested:

  1. Think about your life goal.
  2. Develop a single master passion for your life.

Based on these two points, the following questions were asked:

  1. What is your life goal?
  2. Have you thought long and hard about your life goal?
  3. Do you have a single master passion for your life?
  4. How do you find your life goal and develop a single master passion for your life?

The apostle Paul states and declares what the sole motivation for his life is in the following verses:

  1. Single purpose of life: Testify to the gospel of God's grace (Ac 20:24).
  2. First importance to pass on to others: The gospel (1 Cor 15:3-4).
  3. Single goal of life: To know Christ (Phil 3:10) and him crucified (1 Cor 2:2), to take hold of Christ (Phil 3:12), to live for Christ (Gal 2:20).
  4. One thing to never be ashamed of: The gospel (Rom 1:16).
  5. To know himself progressively more and more (1 Cor 15:9; Eph 3:8; 1 Tim 1:15).
