The Quest for Meaning

Every person is searching for meaning.

Every person is looking for something to tell them that their life is worth something. At the core of that desire is a Biblical truth: you matter, and your life has been designed to make a difference.

As counterintuitive as it feels, the Bible teaches that mattering in this life has very little to do with what we accumulate, achieve, or acquire. Mattering happens when a person knows they are valued and knows they have value to give.

This means that the answer to our search isn't found in what we store up for ourselves — it's discovered in what we give away.

When The Holy Spirit Comes - The Priority of Love

If you have spent much time reading the Corinthian letters, you will notice how Paul intentionally places the famous “love” chapter ... chapter 13 ...smack dab in the middle of his conversation about the public use of the gifts of the Spirit. In chapter 12 he details what the gifts of the Holy Spirit are and then in Chapter 14 he establishes structure for the Corinthian church on their public use...basically saying... “Okay Corinthian church...this is what its going to look like when the spirit comes and speaks in when you are gathered together publicly” As a pastoral and apostolic elder Paul establishes structure because he had received word that these people were abusing the gifts of the Spirit without any concern or thought for their fellow church-goer or especially the outsider who is visiting their worship environment.
