Eli, my eldest son, was trying to teach me how to play a certain card game. He explained to me one and another rule: "Mom, you take this letter ... and then that other letter ... this letter is worth so much ... and that other one is worth so much."

What is the purpose of what you are doing?
You may know all the rules and all the strategies but, if you do not know what the objective of the game is, you will never win. Everything else will not help you. But, when you do know the goal, everything else is useful.

We must know in what direction we are going, what our purpose is. When we know the purpose we can focus, and when we are focused we can achieve the goals and fulfill the will of God in our lives and in the church.
