Purpose Driven Life

[kayre]

Summary: People were created to serve God (purpose #4); saved to serve God; called to serve God; commanded to serve God.

My thoughts: “We don’t serve God out of guilt or fear or even duty...” and yet Warren invokes all three in this chapter. (He invokes rank in heaven again- earn more stars in your crown!)

“The last thing many believers need today is to go to another Bible study. They already know far more than they are putting into practice.” Well... if they’ve been taking years of good solid Bible study, I might agree.... but when I see how many Christians still have incredibly muddled theological ideas, I’d rather they kept studying!

This is an introductory chapter to a week looking at service; not much meat here.

Class wasn’t bad at all; people are asking questions, and acknowledging when Warren says something we can’t agree with, rather than trying to gloss over it. Definite progress!
