What is your purpose as a Christian? I think about that sometimes. I think my first purpose is to know God better. It always has been. But there’s another purpose that I don’t think of as often, and I should. The Apostle Paul thought of it and spoke of it often. That is to perform good works. Maybe we don’t talk about that much in Christian circles because we’ve been so well taught to separate “good works” from “salvation.” Like salvation is the goal and good works are the opposite. For a quiet-time exercise, take a day or two to study “good works” in the Bible. I just posted a guide to this under “quiet time ideas” to the right. Click on that, and it’s the first item in the list after the quiet time ideas introduction.
