There is a great historical document
here that addresses matters of belief and faith, that asks, and answers the question, “what is the chief end (purpose) of man”? It answers that question: “The chief end of man is to glorify God, and to enjoy Him forever”. This means, of course, that we were not created so that we can 'get the most out of life that we can get', or to please ourselves as much as we possibly can* – though that seems to be what most of us think, and do. That certainly is not to say that we are not to enjoy life, or to set and accomplish goals.
It does say that, in light of the clear, and on-going mercies of God, and in acknowledgment of Him as the source and sustainer of our lives, we ought to consider the obligation that we have, of honoring Him. We owe Him everything, in view of His continuing common grace (gift) of life, and in view of His promise of eternal life –to those who put their trust in Him.
It is in this context that I issue this invitation: I invite, and urge you, to consider the prospect for spiritual benefits that you might receive from coming together with people who have this shared desire. That is, we join our hearts, minds, and voices in worship and praise of God, and in attending to the preaching of His word, each Sunday morning. We do the same thing again on Wednesday evening, though a bit more informally.. You are hereby invited to come – simply to see what is being done, and to consider whether or not this might be something to which you are personally called.
