NightJay: Goodness knows that much of modern "theology" has become more of a "me-ology" in which we are told that we, like in Herrick's poem "Invictus", are masters of our fate. But this isn't what our Lord taught. In John 15:16 He said, "You did not choose Me, but I chose you." And in John 6:44, Jesus said, "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him." So lest we get carried away with the man-centered idea of the power of man's "free will," let us these words of our Lord in mind. ...... With no disrespect for Rick Warren intended, I'd much prefer a "Christ-driven life" to a "Purpose-driven life" any day. --Hank | ||||||

NightJay, I have read "The Purpose Driven Life" and have used it in adult and youth Bible studies. It is a clear description of the gifts that we have been given by God, understanding those gifts, and utilizing them to glorify God. Excellant Book1 Aliennow |
