How are you going to DRIVE-HOME GOD's PURPOSE IN YOUR LIFE? Get more active at church? ... or at work? ... Start a church? ... or a ministry?

CHURCH ACTIVITY

There are books on how to find GOD's purpose. Once you find GOD's purpose for your life, do you become more active in church? There's a difference between a church and the Church. A church congregation is led by an individual fulfilling THEIR purpose in life. If that is YOUR purpose in life, then you should start your own Church.

JOB ACTIVITY

Can Christians pursue their purpose through a secular job? In some jobs, you can meet new people all the time and nothing is wrong with sharing the Gospel with these people. However, most jobs limit Christians to a small pool of fresh contacts. Most employers frown upon on-the-job witnessing. Usually, Christians rely almost exclusively on jobs for financial support. When a conflict arises between job and purpose, job usually wins.

CHURCH STARTUP

A congregation is the principle element that defines a church. According to IRS definitions, a church is a group of members meeting regularly with a religious purpose. Most church members expect tax deductions for their contributions. Unless you have a ready-made congregation, this may not be an option.

MINISTRY STARTUP

A purpose in life is centered around talents or gifts GOD provides. A Christian can use their talents or gifts in their local church or start their own Christian ministry. Which option do you think is more likely to provide a productive and fulfilling life? All talents and gifts can be adapted to a Christian ministry. Starting your own Christian ministry can have some obstacles, and they can all be overcome.

NEW STRATEGIES

If you're not starting a church, you don't need a congregation meeting on a regular basis. Though you don't need members, you do need financial support. The following is a member-free strategy to start your own Christian ministry and drive-home your GOD-given Life's Purpose!

MICROFOUNDATION(TM)

Create a nonoperating private foundation. You don't need to be rich to start your own private foundation. I've funded new private foundations for less than $200.00 in cash. I've coined a word for Christian nonoperating private foundations, I call them Microfoundations(TM). Unlike a church, a Microfoundation(TM) doesn't need public support. This is why Microfoundations(TM) don't need congregations or regular meetings. All you need is a religious purpose and an IRS application for a letter of recognition. Some states also require recognition for state tax exemption.
