A Greater Purpose

So, we all know that I love to write crazy, to the point blogs.  Today's is a little bit different- it's an advertisement of sorts.  When you click on my blog, you never know what might be that day's topic.  Usually, you can bet on it being a list of rules or something to do with football.  Well, my friend Andrew has started his own blog.  This blog, has a higher purpose.  


Andrew is currently a student at The Baptist College of Florida.  The focus of his blog is to discuss my #1 man- JESUS!  Andrew wants to use his blog to talk about everything in life, with a lot of focus on Christianity.  I personally love reading blogs, and I don't think anyone could pick a better focus.  


God's Word provides a shelter in times of trouble, answers for the curious, and directions for everyday life. As yall know, I have been trying to decide what path to take with my life.  I have a lot of questions, but more than questions, I have faith.  I trust God to lead me down the right path, being the path He wants for my life.  The following song lyrics basically describe my life right now:




In Christ Alone

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless Babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save

'Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live, I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again

And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From a life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell, no scheme of man
Could ever pluck me from His hand
'Til He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I stand

I will stand, I will stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground, all other ground
Is sinking sand, is sinking sand
So I stand

I want to use this blog to remind everyone that when you face uncertainties in life or you are having a bad day, please remember, God is always on your side.  He has a plan for your life.  Andrew's blog can give you a little Jesus if you need it.  He just wants to use his blog as a place to express his opinions and beliefs, and maybe, even if it is just one person, will come to know more about Jesus through his writing.  When you get a minute, visit Andrew's blog- it's God's love and heart for others at work.
