Psalm 25:12

How to live in Holy fear, but not fear of the Holy

What is my purpose? What am I meant to do with my life? What is God's plan for me? These are all questions many of us ask at one point or another in our lives. We aim to answer some of these questions as we unpack what it is to step into your purpose. Join a few of our C3 College students as they shed some light on this topic.

Discipleship works against fear. As we obey God’s commands, we entrust ourselves to him. Like the students attending the schools founded by D. L. Moody in Northfield, MA, God’s people “are encouraged to test the meaning and value of the Bible’s teachings experimentally, by acting upon them, and living them out.” As we “test experimentally” the word of God, we will find that we will have fewer and fewer reasons to be afraid.

We all want to live wisely. Sometimes, we need discernment for big decisions. Other times, we feel in over our heads and need insight for what to do next. And then there are the ordinary but confusing days when we just need practical advice or help getting unstuck. Thankfully, the Bible is full of principles for discerning God’s voice and offers a clear starting place for living a life of wisdom: the fear of the Lord.
