Last night, we continued our study - Following After God, We did part 2 - How does believing in God affect my purpose in life. We talked about how people like Jordan, Madonna, Elvis became famous by excelling in sports or Hollywood. We also talked about people like Hitler, Osama who became famous for cruel and disturbing behaviour. Then we talked about how Mother Teresa was famous yet never excelled at a sport, never made a song and never established herself in the political or business world. We talked about how deep down we all long to have a name that symbolizes a life of importance. The scripture we looked at was Matthew 25:14-30 (the parable of the talents). Our homework was to think about some of the things that you would like to have our lives remember by. Following our 1st session, this brings us to a Matrix moment where we need to acknowledge the gifts that God has given to us as well as do our part to use them for him and develop them in community.
