Goals

How foolish can you be? After starting your Christian lives in the Spirit, why are you now trying to become perfect by your own human effort?
Galatians 3:3 (NLT)

What's your goal in life?
How would you answer. Quite frankly I think we live in a very contradicting age. We believe in God and everything he is, so why do we live in such a corrupt society?

Two goals I was able to conjure up between the World and Christians.

The World's Goal: Personal Plesure.
Our culture is obsessed with entertainment, famous people, sports, money, sex, cars, drugs, power, and anything else that will give us great personal pleasure.

The Christian's Goal: Love God and enjoy him forever.

Two words.
Love and enjoy.

What kind of deal is it to get everything you want but lose yourself? What could you ever trade your soul for?Don't be in such a hurry to go into business for yourself. Before you know it the Son of Man will arrive with all the splendor of his Father, accompanied by an army of angels. You'll get everything you have coming to you, a personal gift.
Matthew 16:26-27 (The Message)
