The Scripture versions cited in this book are identified in appendix 3, which hereby becomes

This book is dedicated to you. 

Before you were born, God planned this moment in your life. It is no accident that you are reading this book. God longs for you to discover the life he created you to live—here on earth, and forever in eternity.

It’s in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ, . . . he had his eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living, part of the overall purpose he is working out in everything and everyone.  Ephesians 1:11 (Msg)

I am grateful to the hundreds of writers and teachers, both classical and contemporary, who have shaped my life and helped me learn these truths. I thank God and you for the privilege of sharing them with you.


Appendix 1:

D I S C U S S I O N   Q U E S T I O N S

  In addition to the questions at the end of each chapter, you can use these discussion questions in your small group or Sunday school class setting.


What on Earth Am I Here For?

• What do you think are implications of the first sentence of this book, “It’s not about you”?

• What do you feel most people’s lives are driven by? What has been the driving force in your life?

• Up to this point, what image or metaphor has best described your life? A race, a circus, something else?

• If everyone understood that life on earth is really preparation for eternity, how would we act differently?

• What do people get attached to on earth that keeps them from living for God’s purposes?

• What have you been attached to that could keep you from living for God’s purposes?


You Were Planned for God’s Pleasure

• How is “living your whole life for God’s pleasure” different from the way most people understand “worship”?

• How is a friendship with God similar to any other friendship, and how is it different?

• Share something you learned from a time when God seemed distant.

• Which is easier for you—public or private worship? In which do you usually feel closer to God?

• When is it appropriate to express anger to God?

• What fears surface when you think of surrendering your complete life to Christ?


You Were Formed for God’s Family

• How is “being as committed to each other as we are to Jesus Christ” different from the way most people understand “fellowship”?

• What are the barriers that keep us from loving and caring for other believers?

• What would make it easier for you to be able to share your needs, hurts, fears, and hopes with others?

• What are the most common excuses people give for not joining a church, and how would you answer them?

• What could our group do to protect and promote the unity in our church?

• Is there someone you need to restore a relationship with that we could pray for you about?


You Were Created to Be Become Like Christ

• How is “becoming like Jesus Christ” different from the way most people understand “discipleship”?

• What are some of the changes you have seen in your life since you became a believer? What have others noticed?

• A year from now, how would you like to be more Christlike? What can you do today to move toward that goal?

• Where in your spiritual growth are you having to be patient because there seems to be little progress?

• How has God used pain or trouble to help you grow?

• When are you most vulnerable to temptation? Which of the steps to defeating temptation could help you most? 


You Were Shaped for Serving God

• How is “using your shape to serve others” different from the way most people understand “ministry”?

• What do you love to do that you could use to serve others in the family of God?

• Think of a painful experience you have gone through that God could use to help others who are going through the same kind of situation.

• How does comparing ourselves with others keep us from fully developing our unique shape?

• How have you seen God’s power demonstrated through you when you felt weak?

• How can we help every member of our small group or class find a place of ministry? What can our group do to serve our church family?


You Were Made for a Mission

• What are some typical fears and stereotypes that people have when they hear the word “evangelism”? What keeps you from sharing the Good News with others?

• What do you feel might be a part of the Life Message that God has given you to share with the world?

• Share the name of a unbelieving friend that everyone in your group can begin praying for.

• What can our group do together to help fulfill the Great Commission?

• How has reading through this book together refocused or redirected your life purpose? What have been some of the most helpful insights to you?

• Who does God bring to mind that you could share the life-changing message of this book with?

중국어 문법 핵심 완벽 정리

  중국어 문법 핵심 완벽 정리 중국어 문법은 한국어와 다른 점도 많지만, 명확한 규칙을 가지고 있어 핵심만 잘 파악하면 생각보다 쉽게 접근할 수 있습니다. 중국어 문법의 가장 큰 특징은 ① 어순이 매우 중요하다 는 것과 ② 동사의 형태 변화(시제, 인칭에 따른 변화)가 없다 는 점입니다. 아래에 초급부터 중급까지 가장 중요하고 필수적인 문법 사항들을 체계적으로 정리했습니다. 1. 문장의 기본 구조 (SVO) 중국어의 가장 기본적인 문장 구조는 주어(S) + 술어(V) + 목적어(O) 순서입니다. 이는 영어와 동일하여 상대적으로 이해하기 쉽습니다. 기본형: 我(wǒ) 爱(ài) 你(nǐ)。 뜻: 나는 너를 사랑해. 구조: 주어(我) + 동사(爱) + 목적어(你) 예문: 他(tā) 喝(hē) 咖啡(kāfēi)。(그는 커피를 마신다.) 我们(wǒmen) 学习(xuéxí) 汉语(hànyǔ)。(우리는 중국어를 공부한다.) 2. 주요 품사별 특징 가. 명사 특별한 형태 변화가 없으며, 복수형을 만들 때 주로 **们(men)**을 붙입니다. (단, 모든 명사에 붙이지 않고 사람을 나타내는 인칭대명사나 명사에 주로 사용합니다.) 我(wǒ) → 我们(wǒmen) (나 → 우리) 老师(lǎoshī) → 老师们(lǎoshīmen) (선생님 → 선생님들) 나. 동사 시제나 인칭에 따라 형태가 변하지 않습니다. 시간의 표현은 시간 부사 나 **조사(了, 过 등)**를 통해 나타냅니다. 昨天(zuótiān) 我 去 学校。(어제 나는 학교에 갔다.) 明天(míngtiān) 我 去 学校。(내일 나는 학교에 갈 것이다.) 다. 형용사 형용사가 단독으로 술어 역할을 할 수 있는 것이 특징입니다. 이때 보통 형용사 앞에 부사 **很(hěn)**을 붙여 문장을 자연스럽게 만듭니다. 여기서 很 은 '매우'라는 뜻보다는 문장의 균형을 맞춰주는 역할을 합니다. 她 漂亮 。(X - 어색한 표현) 她 很 漂亮(piàoliang)。(O - 그녀는 예쁘다.) 天气 很 好(hǎo)。...

  30. 다음 글의 밑줄 친 부분 중, 문맥상 낱말의 쓰임이 적절하지 않은 것은? Surely one reason that copies have lost their sense of human connection, abundance, and intimate relation is that modern technology has made copying so easy. The methods of copying available to us have never been more powerfully (abundant). This seems true even as a sense of loss has attended our ever more powerful means to (reproduce) what we care about. Walter Benjamin has famously formulated this loss as an "aura": that which is (lost) in mechanical reproduction. The aura of a work of art, he suggests, cannot be copied by mechanical technology. By around 1900, he writes, "technical reproduction had reached a standard that not only permitted it to reproduce all transmitted works of art and thus to cause the most profound change in their impact upon the public." The (ability) to copy mechanically "substituted a plurality of copies for a unique existence," Benjamin argued. In addition to transforming art and t...

  41~42 다음을 읽고, 물음에 답하시오 Translating a literary text is challenging, and it's often said there will be an inevitable loss in translation. But that challenge frequently inspires creative re-renderings that offer the prospect of a (a) gain in translation as well. A washing machine manual doesn't present the same challenges, nor therefore does it inspire the (b) same creativity either. But where, in terms of the opposition between literary and nonliterary language, might we position philosophy's language? Might philosophy want to avoid a translatory economy that aims for a gain in translation but risks a loss? Philosophy wishes to convey its truths intact, without loss and without gain either, or at least it might (c) hesitate to offer its truths to translation without further clarification of what a gain, and indeed a gain in depth, actually means. It cannot be a matter of offsetting "stylistic losses." The loss philosophy fears is a loss of meaning, the compromisin...

34. 다음 빈칸에 들어갈 말로 가장 적절한 것은? In both the arts and the sciences, an aesthetics of simplicity facilitates the precise communication of messages. Both are also fairly systematic. Although many people believe that art is by definition wild and intuitive, while only science is methodologically disciplined, there is a great deal of evidence including from artists talking about their own practices to suggest that art is often created methodically and systematically, and that frameworks and forms permit creativity to flow. Instead of being liberating, freedom without limits is almost paralysing, because without frameworks we end up in a vacuum in which our actions generate no response. As the Danish poet and filmmaker Jørgen Leth has put it many times, 'the rules of the game are a prerequisite for artistic freedom. They provide a solid form or structure that enables the artist to make use of 'the gifts of chance' (to use Leth's expression), and in which a part of the world can ...

Day1: It All Starts with God

 WHAT ON EARTH AM I HERE FOR? A life devoted to things is a dead life, a stump;  a God-shaped life is a flourishing tree. Proverbs 11:28 (Msg) Blessed are those who trust in the Lord....  They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with  roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees  are not bothered by the heat or worried by long  months of drought. Their leaves stay green,  and they go right on producing delicious fruit. Jeremiah 17:7–8 (NLT) It All Starts with God For everything, absolutely everything,  above and below, visible and invisible,... everything got started in him and  finds its purpose in him. Colossians 1:16 (Msg) Unless you assume a God, the question  of life’s purpose is meaningless. Bertrand Russell, atheist   It’s not about you.      The purpose of your life is far greater than your own personal  fulfillment, your peace of mind, or even your happiness. It’s far  greater than your fa...

Day38: Becoming a World-Class Christian

 Becoming a World-Class Christian Jesus said to his followers,  “Go everywhere in the world,  and tell the Good News to everyone.” Mark 16:15 (NCV)  Send us around the world with  the news of your saving power  and your eternal plan for all mankind. Psalm 67:2 (LB)   The Great Commission is your commission.   You have a choice to make. You will be either a world-class Christian or a worldly Christian. Worldly Christians look to God primarily for personal fulfillment. They are saved, but self-centered. They love to attend concerts and enrichment seminars, but you would never find them at a missions conference because they aren’t interested. Their prayers focus on their own needs, blessings, and happiness. It’s a “me-first” faith: How can God make my life more comfortable? They want to use God for their purposes instead of being used for his purposes.   In contrast, world-class Christians know they were saved to serve and made for a mission. Th...

32. One of the factors determining the use of technologies of communication will be the kinds of investments made in equipment and personnel; who makes them, and what they expect in return. There is no guarantee that the investment will necessarily be in forms of communication that _______________________. Because the ownership of investment funds tends to be in the hands of commercial organisations, the modernisation of communications infrastructure only takes place on the basis of potential profitability. Take, for example, the installation of fibre-optic communications cable across the African continent. A number of African nations are involved in the development but its operational structures will be oriented to those who can pay for access. Many states that might wish to use it for education and information may not only find it too expensive but also simply unavailable to them. There can be no doubt that the development has been led by investment opportunity rather than community ...

  21. 밑줄 친 the tree was cut in the middle이 다음 글에서 의미하는 바로 가장 적절한 것은? [3점] The unity of science and philosophy in the old classical sense was perhaps best described by the famous tree of Descartes: The roots of this tree corresponded to metaphysics (the intelligible principles), the trunk to physics (statements of intermediate generality), and the branches and fruit to what we would call applied science. He regarded the whole system of science and philosophy as we today regard science alone; he felt that the metaphysical principles were ultimately justified by their "fruits," not merely by their self-evidence. What we today call applied science consisted for him not only in mechanics but also in medicine and ethics. The difficulty was that from the general principles of Cartesian or Aristotelian science philosophy no results could be derived which were precisely in agreement with observation, but these principles seemed to be intelligible and plausible. So the tree was cut in ...
