As I said before, to "His purpose".
Chewed gum is right in perspective here. The Gospel is the Good News of what Christ has done to redeem us to His purpose. Redemption without purpose is purposeless.
Point is, many Christians today are down-playing everything outside of soul-winning as unimportant and in doing so, clear themselves of the purpose for their life that God has for them.
I think the interesting question to Rick Warren or any Christian is, if Ashley Smith was not abducted by Brian Nichols, but had a choice, should she have chosen to risk her own safety to try to "reach" or persuad him. Most people would say no. i think God says yes- this is our purpose.
God created us to serve Him. In our love for Him, it is His will that we tell others of His saving grace. If you want to call this purpose, that's fine. Romans 8:28, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."
Good points.
Someday, when all of us God fearing Freepers are gathered at Christ's feet in heaven, He will explain all of scripture. All the "hard" parts will be made clear. I am sure that sometime in that talk, one of us will interrupt and say, "That's not quite right."
