A purpose that no one can take away from you, challenge, or remove. It comes from God. However, there are times when we allow circumstances, our environment, people, frustration, and fear to stagnate the move toward what God has already called us to. Now, many people know what God wants them to do, but will remain motionless saying they're waiting on God to tell them. But God has already spoken...long ago, but we wait and wait and wait. What we're...

Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

We were made for the Lord's glory and to show forth His praise upon the earth (see Isaiah 43:7, 21). In discipleship, we are pupils and learners of Jesus, obedient to His commands (Matthew 28:18-20). Disciples reflect the example of Jesus they have purposefully studied. God conforms us into the His Son in word and deed (Romans 8:29).
