Discovering the Power of Purpose

For this morning's devotional, Dr. Paul Crites spoke. At the end of his talk, he gave everyone in the room a copy of his book Discovering the Power of Purpose. What a nice guy.

There were a few things that caught my attention as I read through this little book.

1. If you are an orange tree, move to Florida. In other words, if your not fulfilling your purpose in your current position, figure out what you need to do in order to bear fruit.

2. "Never discuss a problem with someone who is incapable of solving it". That certainly would limit the amount of gossip people participate in since gossip usually discusses problems.

3. Like the law of gravity, sowing and reaping is a "fixed law of God". There's no reason to doubt God when it comes to him blessing your hard work.
