OUR PURPOSE FOR LIFE

  In Christian eschatology, the Antichrist is a chilling figure: a charismatic leader who rises from chaos, deceives the world with false peace, and challenges God’s authority before his ultimate downfall at Christ’s return. Could Ahmed al-Sharaa , Syria’s president since early 2025 and former Al Qaeda-linked jihadist Abu Mohammad al-Julani, be this prophesied figure? His meteoric ascent from terrorist commander to global statesman, his strategic moves in the volatile Middle East, and his rebranding as a “moderate” leader align strikingly with biblical prophecies in Daniel and Revelation . This blog explores why al-Sharaa’s rise matches the Antichrist’s profile, backed by Scripture and recent events. Dive into this thought-provoking analysis to decide for yourself. What Does the Bible Say About the Antichrist? The Antichrist is a central figure in end-times prophecy, described in Daniel , Revelation , and 2 Thessalonians as a deceptive ruler who: Rises from obscurity : A “li...

As 1 Peter 1:15-16 echoes, “As he who called you is holy, you also...

Do you ever feel like you’re just going through the motions, wondering, “What is my purpose in life?” If you’re searching for meaning or feeling unfulfilled, you’re not alone. Many people grapple with these questions, especially in a world that pushes material success over spiritual connection. The good news? God has a unique purpose for your life, rooted in His eternal plan. This blog explores how to discover your divine purpose, overcome worldly distractions, and live for God’s glory. Let’s dive into this life-changing journey together. Why Finding Your Purpose Matters Life can feel empty without a sense of direction. Whether you’re chasing career goals, relationships, or wealth, these things often leave a lingering void. The Bible warns that worldly pursuits are fleeting: “The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever” (1 John 2:17, NIV).

Have you ever wondered if you’re living the life God intended for you? Many of us chase careers, studies, or goals without pausing to seek His guidance, only turning to Him when we’re trapped in dissatisfaction. Yet, God crafted a unique purpose for each of us, with good works prepared in advance (Ephesians 2:10). Even when we veer off course, His plan remains steadfast, ready to redirect and restore us. The world may highlight our shortcomings, but God sees our potential and meets our deepest needs. Trusting His purpose requires faith, resilience, and surrender—here’s how to embrace it. Stepping Out in Faith To live God’s purpose, we must walk in His Spirit, letting Him guide our paths. Faith isn’t just believing in God; it’s trusting His promises and acting on His call, even when the future is unclear. Proverbs 16:3,9 assures us, “Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed… The LORD determines [our] steps.” God, the Alpha and Omega, knows our journey’s end. Take ...

Why do we lack peace of mind? Worry and anxiety rob us of our peace of mind. Being plagued by worry-filled thoughts is painful and depressing. And the more we become aware of how powerless we are in some circumstances, the more we give in to despair, give in to depression, and give in to desperation.  Some of us are so accustomed to feeling this way that we are unaware of the extent to which it inhibits our capacity for bravery, vigor, and concentration. We are unaware of how much it influences both our relationship with God and our interactions with others. The waves of the storms of life and the storms of emotion within our souls knock us around like a ball. However, there is hope because God promises us calm despite the storms of life. God promises us inner peace; of mind and heart. How to experience God's peace of mind Have you ever attempted to fall asleep deeply after going to bed but found that your mind was racing with worry, anxiety, anger, resentment, and other emotions i...

Longing for more We all have a deep underlying longing for something that is beyond our human capacity to completely comprehend. It is an awareness of something within us that is lacking and which if realized, would make our lives complete.  We all have strong desires for things like love, power, achievement, identity, goods, and social connectedness, but none of them provide long-term fulfillment. We may feel joyful and delighted for a short period of time, but that sensation always disappears. Many people are dissatisfied with their life, even if to others they may be seen to have it all; a generally good life. They imagine that the next idealized relationship, purchase, or career will be the one that will finally and fully satisfy them. Only for the joy and excitement felt when these things are achieved to disappear with time. "Those who love money will never have enough. How meaningless to think that wealth brings true happiness!" Ecclesiastes 5:10 Our supreme satisfactio...
