A Purpose Driven Life?

Honestly I have never read the book A Purpose Driven Life, but I would like to say a few things about making Christian decisions based on your purpose.
I believe that one of the most important things in understanding scripture is to define your purpose in doing whatever is placed before you or more importantly, what you are lead to do by the Spirit of God. I believe you should spend some time meditating about whatever it might be and determine the purpose and the rules within scripture which apply. If you have a selfish purpose remember that this will be unacceptable before God. Be sure to rethink your purpose if it is not scriptural so that you are on the right road.
I realize that I am being broad, but I believe that the Bible becomes a very broad book when applied in this way. In some of my recent conversations I've talked to some young people who seem to not recognize this. They are just kind of coming up with their own rules for dealing with situations and implying that the Bible doesnt really deal with this situation or forbid this action or command this action. I am saying that this purpose first thinking can resolve alot of these things.
Rather than give you a single example I will tell you some things that I believe that can be handled much better after expanding to this approach:

1. Building of, maintainance of, and breaking off of relationships. Be it, Male/female, Husband/Wife, Boss/subordinant, Pastor/Church member, Teacher/pupil, friendships, enemies, and the relationship between Children and their parents or Gods Children and God our father.
2. Your work within the church: Certainly: Pastors, Teachers, Deacons, Music leaders, Sunday school workers, and laymen can all improve and this could be a path to that.
3. All decisionmaking whether small or large: What to say or what not to, Where to take a job, who to spend your time with, what to spend your time on, Whether or not to purchase things, and many other things.

I think there are many other things that I wont mention but also I believe that adding this to your thought process can be greatly beneficial. Especially as you grow in Christ through Bible reading, being under the teaching or preaching of Gods Word, and meditating on these things.

God Bless you if you are a servant of our Lord Jesus Christ.
