Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to

be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some

difference that you have lived and lived well.”

That is an amazing statement. As I have aged and matured in my faith in

Jesus Christ I have come to realize that God did not promise to make us

happy…He called us to be holy. Then as we walk a life of holiness we

make a difference in the world.

What does your world include? Your world certainly begins with those that

are closest to you. God has called you to be holy before your family. Your

impact on your spouse and children and grandchildren is greatly enhanced

as you walk in holiness before the Lord.

Your world includes the people around you…neighbors, workmates, class-

mates, etc. To be “useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it

make some difference,” requires that you live a life of holiness.

Now I know what you are thinking. “Pastor, I cannot be holy. I am only

human and I sin every day.” At that point you are correct. I am right there

with you. I am just like the Apostle Paul when he said, “For I do not under-

stand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I

hate” (Romans 7:15). The flesh and the spirit are in constant struggle for

domination in our lives.

Being holy is a striving, a continual effort, of being in the presence of God

moment by moment. It is a daily surrender of our will to God’s will.

Absolutely we will fail from time-to-time. But in the striving we are grow-

ing and continually become more like the image of Christ.

Will you commit in this new year to strive for holiness rather than straining

for happiness? Happiness is temporal and contingent on circumstances.

Holiness leads to a deeper relationship with God through Jesus Christ. That,

in turn, allows us to “have lived and lived well.”

God bless you as you walk in holiness in the year 2014. Make it your best

year ever by being in the center of God’s will, pleasing Him and serving

others.

By His grace,

Marriage Today Conference

February 14-15

Gateway, Dallas

When a husband and wife have one heart and mind with God, they

can relate to each other with unconditional love and the fruit of

the Spirit. This is the very image of God on earth, and we believe

that every healthy marriage will affect generations to come. The

Marriage Today Conference is scheduled for February 14 & 15 at

Gateway, 700 Blessed Way, Southlake, Texas. Cost is $60.

Lodging will be an additional cost. Each couple will be responsi-

ble for making their own hotel reservations.

Please call the church office, 903-786-2233, if you are interested

in attending this special conference.

“Do not be anxious about

anything, but in every situation,

by prayer and petition, with

thanksgiving, present your

requests to God. And the peace

of God, which transcends all

understanding, will guard your

hearts and your minds in Christ

Jesus.”

Philippians 4:6-7
