"Don't Waste Your Life"

I read this book when I was in college. Today I found that they have put up a new website and extension ministry of Desiring God to build and encourage people to make their lives count for the glory of God. It was a challenging resource to me, I had to make sure you knew about it!

The task of missions is yours. It's mine.

Dr. Piper says there are three types of people in the world regarding the task of reaching the 1.6 billion people in the world without an evangelistic mission among them for Jesus: 1) Goers 2) Senders 3) Disobedient.

Which are you? What is your role?
Begin answering the questions of how you can make your life count, how you can fulfill God's purpose for your life. Dontwasteyourlife.com is a great place to start. Check it out, and let me know what you think!

Ephesians 1:3-14

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, 4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love 5 he predestined us for adoption through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, 8 which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight 9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ 10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. 11 In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, 12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. 13 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.
