Think about this question…

Are we from nothing, created by nothing for nothing or are we from someone, created by someone for someone? (Vince Vitale’s question) Either one is the result of something incredible that must have occurred to create our existence. I think the two origin beliefs are almost equally amazing: A huge, impossible cosmic accident occurred or an all-powerful, Creator God designed it!

The great difference in the two ideas about where we come from is represented by the outcomes. One naturally brings purpose, meaning, peace, coherence, and contentment. Strange… It appears that even that outcome itself has all the marks of something that was designed to produce that better kind of life!

“Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him forever.” (Westminster Shorter Catechism, 1647)  I hope you are not trying to build a life without embracing your “chief end.”

Grace and Peace,
