The Mission
The birth of Jesus Christ included the announcement of world peace. “Glory
to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men”(Luke
2:14). However, that promise has not yet reached its fulfillment.
Christianity has experienced many revivals and renewals throughout history,
but the goal of peace on earth has not been attained. Each of these revivals
gained powerful momentum, and then, that momentum subsided.
The Church has risen up only to fall back. But why? Could it be that key
foundational principles have been lacking? I think so. It could be compared
to a house built on a weak foundation. The building goes well at first,
but as the building grows, the foundation eventually crumbles.
Therefore, Purpose Ministries is a teaching and equipping ministry with
a primary focus of teaching foundations. Our mission is to raise up the
age-old foundations (see Isa. 58:12). To do so is
to...
-enable the house of God to be built to its completion;
- and to prepare the way for the appearing of Jesus Christ and His kingdom.
Peace
on earth and good will toward men: It's not a holiday slogan; it's a mission
statement for all Christians!
"And those from among you will rebuild the ancient ruins; You will raise up the age-old foundations; And you will be called the repairer of the breach, The restorer of the streets in which to dwell" (Isa 58:12).
More About Purpose
It is impossible
to know one's own purpose without a foundational understanding of God's
purpose and His strategy to accomplish it. Lacking this foundation,
sincere Christians stand in danger of reaching lessor goals and finding
themselves stalled and without direction - easy prey for deception and
personal ambition.
Purpose must be built into a Christian's heart from the very beginning.
Without clear purpose, Christianity becomes "just another dead religion."
The goal is to make disciples who will not be satisfied until they put
on immortality and see the appearing of God's kingdom on earth as it is
in heaven.
I certainly do not claim to have complete understanding of God's purpose.
However, there is a foundation of purpose that must be laid if we are to
build beyond our personal goals and expect what we build to endure.
For this foundation, God has placed a passion in my heart.
It is my prayer that the Holy Spirit will ignite a passion in your
heart as well to see the kingdom of God come on earth as it is in heaven!
Sincerely,
Brad Sherman
