What is our purpose?



The first question of the Westminster Shorter Catechism asks,
What is the chief end of man?

The answer: (contrary to the little girl who answered, 'His head, of course.')  :-) (and naturally, I think of that every single time!!)

Man's chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever.

I Cor 10:31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.



Psalm 147:11 The LORD delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love.



'All that we call human history—money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery—[is] the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy.'  - C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
