Your Relationship to God
The links on this page have been placed here to help you grow in
your relationship with God. If you have any questions or comments about
your relationship with God, please feel free to contact
us!
A fresh and growing relationship with God is the key to all
other relationships. As author Rick
Warren states, "you cannot arrive at your life's purpose by
starting with a focus on yourself. You must begin with God, your
Creator. You exist only because God wills that you exist. You
were made by God and for God -- and until you understand that,
life will never make sense." Those can be tough words to hear,
but I urge you to seek after God and His purposes for your life until
you find His answers. My prayer is that the following links will guide
you as you seek.
