What Is Your Aim?

Dec 27, 2025
John Piper explores the importance of having a purposeful aim in life. He emphasizes that all actions should glorify God, referencing 1 Corinthians 10:31. By acting in Jesus' name with gratitude, we set intentions for our day. Aimlessness, he warns, leads to a lack of grace and joy, making one feel lifeless like a leaf blown by the wind. This call to purposeful living applies to everyone, regardless of age or role, urging us to approach each day with conscious aims and a scriptural focus.
