How does one define their place within the world? Is there truth to be found and if so how do we find it? If there’s not, then what is the purpose of life? What governs our actions and relationships on this planet? Are we going through motions to a determined and explainable end, or are all the roller coaster rides we take in life done in vain?

Christians should not be swayed by the world but should sway the world to it’s creator. Going to church once a week and praying to God are part of being a Christian but no all it is, we should be applying His word to all aspects of our lives, church, parenting, work, and school; through good and bad times involve Him, after all He is our Father and desires what is best for
