In this month's Note From Nolen - it's not about being busy!
"I attended the funeral recently of my long term friend and mentor, Dr. Henry Blackaby, author of Experiencing God. I've often heard Dr. Blackaby say, Most Christians are so busy doing the work of the church that they miss the will of God. Wow, that is a profound statement. It's not a negative statement towards working in the church. Working in the church is indeed the will of God for some people. But the problem is many people are just doing what they've been asked to do without seeking an understanding. What is it God wants me to do? What is God's specific purpose for the next stage of my life? God has general purposes for all followers of Jesus Christ, but he has specific purposes or a mission or good works, which he created for us in Christ Jesus. even before we were born that we should be doing. May I encourage you seek what is God's purpose and plan for your life rather than just being busy. Being busy is not what God wants you to do. He wants you to accomplish his specific purpose and plan for every stage of your life. About GPS Life Journey is designed to help you determine that. If we can help you feel free to contact us. God bless." You can learn more about events happening on our EVENTS page. You can CONTACT us here.

"Are you living your life with a sense of purpose? Are you living on mission with God?

They get sidetracked and the mission gets put on the shelf. Let me encourage you, this spring, as we think about things growing and expanding, you growing in the fulfillment. Of your mission, your personal mission. If you need assistance to get back on track, let us know. We're here to help you with free coaching. Know what your purpose is.

Or if you prefer, then you can read the transcript here: "Hello. Another Note from Nolen. Just sitting here on the ramp, ready to get on the interstate. And I'm just thinking about the days when we went places and we had to use maps or the directions of a friend or family member to get there. Remember how difficult that was? You eventually got there. Sometimes you missed your turn several times, following the directions of a friend who would give you directions like:
Well, go down the road and you'll pass this big red bar. Don't turn there, go on down and you'll see this red wheelbarrow. It was just really difficult to get anywhere you want to go. What a great thing it is to have a GPS that takes us everywhere we want to go today. GPS Life Journey will do the same thing for your journey in the kingdom of God. It will give you specific direction as to where God wants to take you, how He wants you to get there, His purpose for your life, and a road map, a 15 step road map to help you arrive at His destination for your life. If you've not participated in GPS Life Journey, or if you have friends or family members who have not encouraged them to get the real deal GPS, it'll help you get to where you need to go in life." Find out what events are happening here, we offer GPS Life Journey in person and online via Zoom. You can also contact us and ask us questions about bringing GPS Life Journey to wherever you are in the world. In this month's Note from Nolen, Nolen Rollins shares one of his favorite quotes. Dr. Bill Bright was the famous founder and Christian leader of Campus Crusade for Christ, now called CRU. He made famous the statement, "God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life." We could not agree more. God loves you, and He has a wonderful plan for your life.
He has a specific purpose or mission for the next stage of your life. GPS Life Journey is all about helping you discover what is God's purpose for the next stage of your life. And then we help you develop a strategy to fulfill that purpose. In John 17:4 Jesus, God, the son, speaking to God, the father said, father, I have glorified you here on earth, having accomplished or fulfilled the purpose of the reason you sent me here. John 17:4 New International Version 4 I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do. And that purpose was to die on the cross to pay our sin debt. Does it not make sense that if Jesus brought great glory to God by accomplishing God's specific purpose for him here on earth, that you will do the same? Discover God's purpose in your life. Bring God great glory. GPS Life Journey is designed to help you - check out the events happening in person and online or Contact us.

Nolen Rollins here with GPS Life Journey. The GPS Life Journey answers three extremely important questions you should know the answer to.
The first question is, who am I? How did God uniquely design and create me? To help answer that question, we will help you go through seven personal profiles to determine who you are, how God has wired you. The second question is, how do I hear from God to get direction from my life? Most people try to figure it out on their own wrong answer. God wants to show you what his purpose and plan for your life is. And then the third question is what is God's specific purpose for the next stage of my life? And how can I develop a strategy to fulfill that? Let us help you do that. Go to our website, GPSlifejourney.com For more information about the GPS Life Journey process.

What are the benefits of participating in the GPS Life Journey process? Great question. Let me give you several benefits.
Number one, you will know yourself better than you've ever known yourself before. You will understand how God has uniquely created and gifted you better than you ever have before. Second thing you will know is how to get direction from God. We have a session just on, how do you hear from God? How do you discover what that purpose is? And then of course, a major benefit is you will learn what is God's purpose for the next stage of my life. God has a purpose for every stage of your life will help you discover what that purpose is for the next stage of your life. And then a final benefit is you will be able to develop a strategy to engage and that purpose and to see that mission and that vision become reality where you are living on mission with God and making a difference in the world.
The number one reason people do not participate in the GPS Life Journey is not because they don't want to know God's purpose for the next stage of their life. It's because they feel like I just simply don't have time. Life is so busy.
Do I ever understand that? But here's what I've discovered after 72 years of life, you do what is important. If you're going to be successful, you have to focus on priorities. You have to do what is important. And my question to you would be, what could be more important to you than knowing and fulfilling God's purpose for your life? So may I encourage you, no matter how busy life is, make it a priority, to go through the GPS Life Journey to discover and engage and God's purpose for your life. That's where you find real success in life. Being able to do what God created you to do, and bring in him great glory and doing so.
Nolen Rollins with another Note from Nolen. Occasionally people ask me, "What ages is the GPS Life Journey process for?" Well, we have successfully used the GPS Life Journey process, across cultures in many different languages admitted in different countries, from ages 13 to age 89.
It's important for people of all ages to know what is God's purpose for my life. For example, a high school student needs to know, what is God's purpose for my life to help them determine what direction they should go in college. And hopefully they can avoid changing majors eight to 10 times, as most college students do. A college student needs to know what is God's purpose for my life. When you graduate? What direction are you going to go in life? And if you can go in a direction where your profession helps you to fulfill God's purpose for your life. There's such congruent in that and a sense of, of contentment in what you're doing. And then young adults need to know what is God's purpose to avoid the rat race that so many people get caught up in and climbing the corporate ladder? Middle aged adults are wanting to know how can I move from success to significance and make a real difference in my life, and we're finding older adults are being able to discover their purpose and leave a great legacy in life. So no matter what your age is, no matter what your culture is, no matter what country you're in. GPS Life Journey will help you discover and engage and God's purpose for the next stage of your life. |
