Testing Yourself
CUMMING UNITED
METHODIST CHURCH
If you are a real follower of
Christ, you are a new crea
ture. You are a person with
eternal purpose, eternal des
tiny. You are a grower. God
is creating new visions, new
dreams within you each day.
Life is exciting. If you are a
real follower of Christ, you
are lifted above just exist
ing, or following the routine.
We hear it said of someone
that ‘he or she has really
changed’ for the good or bad.
They have found or lost pur
pose is another way to say
the same thing.
God has special purposes
for all of us to get involved
in. We miss those purposes
often because we get caught
up in ignorance, hard-heart
edness, callousness, greed or
whatever the purpose-killer
might be. Lost of our eternal
purpose is not the lifestyle of
a follower of Christ. Assum
ing we have heard of Him,
accepted Him as Lord and
Savior, given our lives to His
service, our old nature is
remolded into new purpose.
We start living on purpose
(faith). Test yourself to see
if you are living on Christ’s
purposes:

God’s will in your living?
(2) Are you seeking to de
velop your inner person?
(spirit)
(3) Are you seeking to
carve out your place in the
Kingdom of God? (Jesus’
purpose is to initiate us into
the Kingdom.)
(4) Are you seeking to live
so that you can draw others
into the kingdom?
(5) Are you trying to bring
peace and hope to others?
Our world is filled with
moanings and groanings of
lost purpose, crying out,
groping. Many die in the
wilderness of lost purpose.
We could stop a lot of it if we
cared enough. I hope you can
latch onto some of God’s
eternal purposes. They are
power to live on. Eternal
purposes are:
(1) Those that will outlive
your death.
(2) Those that will outlast
your despairs.
(3) Those that will over
come your shortcomings and
those of others.
(4) Those that will bring
victory to your defeats.
When you find purposes
like these, you have found
God and that is your main
purpose for being. Think
about it!

Confession And Repentance
Can Bring You Peace Of Mind
FIRST CHRISTIAN
CHURCH
There is an old German
proverb which says, “A good
conscience is the best pil
low.” The literature of psy
chology is filled with
allusions to the crippling and
destructive power of guilt.
Guilt is experienced as anxi
ety, embarrassment, unwor
thiness, regret, remorse,
conflict, shame no wonder
a person can’t sleep. All of
this makes two facts very
clear. One is the value in
integrity, sincerity and char
acter. A clear conscience is
one of life’s most prized pos
sessions. There is an ancient
Dutch proverb which says,
“Happy people are never
wicked.”
There is a second ancient
saying, “Confession is good
for the soul.” These two
statements should be consid
ered together. It is through
confession that one gains the
clear conscience that is a
“good pillow.”
Like so many of these an
cient proverbs, this one has
many parallels in Scripture.
Unconfessed sin can literally
wreak havoc in a man’s body
and soul. “When I declared
not my sin, my body wasted
away,” says the Psalmist.

Some try to suppress it, or
worse, to repress it; some
try to blame others, to pro
ject their guilt on someone
else “lt wasn’t my fault.”
Some try to rationalize it
away— “I can’t be so bad
when others are worse.”
God is by nature a for
giving God. The sense of
guilt can be dispelled. The
good conscience can be re
stored. “As far as the East is
from the West, so far does
He remove our transgres

Confession is good for the
