Every Tuesday, I meet with two guys at Backyard Burger and discuss a chapter of Rick Warren's booklet titled What on Earth Am I Here For? Over some great food and great sweet tea today, we had a great discussion, tackling questions like "What drives your life?" and "What keeps us from fulfilling our purpose in life?" As I drove home from Backyard Burger this afternoon, I heard a song on the radio called "Good Directions" (by Billy Currington). Love that song about sweet tea and a flat-bed truck! And the very last line of the song includes the words, "Thank God for good directions and turnip greens." Now I don't know about the turnip greens part, but I am so thankful to God for good directions. In the Bible, there is story after story, verse after verse, that screams out, "God forgives you. God loves you. God has a purpose for your life. God wants to know you relationally. God wants to use you."
The main reason that I meet with those guys at Backyard Burger over a cup of sweet tea is because they are searching for direction in life. The main reason we started Peace Community Church is because people are searching for direction in life. They don't realize God's love for them, God's purpose for them.
If you're reading this blog and you are searching for direction in life, then come and check out Peace Community. We are in this journey of life together. And God has given us a roadmap which He meant for us to discover. As Billy Currington would say, "Thank God for good directions."
