Aim Matters

traditional wisdom

A person can be very busy and still be going nowhere in particular. Goals give direction to effort. Without them, energy disperses. The Christian life is not aimless activity; it is purposeful following. Clarity about the destination (and the One who sets it) keeps the steps from becoming random.

How you’d preach it
