  • Power with Purpose!

  • Romans 8:9 "But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his."

    Is your "Christian Experience" less than what you expected? Have circumstances and situations caused you to take a long, hard look at your faith? Many of today's Christians are discovering that the consumer-minded, entertainment driven, megachurch mentality is awesome when it comes to celebrating Jesus, but fails miserably in the discipleship of the individual believer. Power with Purpose was founded by followers of Jesus Christ with the idea that; no matter how big our organizations get, our faith must be founded on sound biblical doctrine, a holy lifestyle, and authentic community relationships. Please join us and our partners in prayer and action as we journey together to discover and implement the purpose behind the power given to us by Christ!

Moving Forward (Whether I want to or not :) )

By robert on May 8, 2010 | In Encouragement | Send feedback »

I have been reading and studying about "finding the work the I would love to do." My current job is flowing in a direction that has the potential to pull me away from my relationship with God. Because I have one foot in the job, and the other in the desire to serve God with my gifts and talents - I feel that I am being pulled in two different directions.

It reminds me of the HAL9000 computer in "2001: A Space Odyssey." We learn in the sequel, "2010: The Year We Make Contact," that HAL was behaving and acting strangely because he was given instructions regarding his duties that conflicted with the values and attributes that he was programmed with.

I have been in the IT field for almost 15 years now. I am well aware that a lot of software problems and "freeze-ups" occur because a computer doesn't know how to process something because it is either broken, or conflicts with the computer's basic set of instructions for doing it's job.

I don't believe God put me here to live a confused, powerless life that does not help anyone. The process of "finding my niche" has been a struggle. At times, my self doubt and lack of confidence has really paralyzed me. However, with God's help and the support of my family, friends, folks like David Wood, Dan Miller, Dave Ramsey, and the multitude of other good people that are "here to help," I believe that success is just around the corner.
