On Purpose! Scott Pauley

On purpose is a beautifully illustrated book that teaches the truth of Creation, identity, and divine purpose for every boy and girl.

On Purpose!

These are days of immense confusion in our culture because sin always brings disorder! One of the most devastating consequences of this confusion is its residual effect on the next generation. The ripple effect of error has created a tidal wave of destruction.
Children are now growing up in a world that questions gender and loses its identity. When you don’t know who God is you forget who you are. Only the Word of God can cut through this chaos and bring clarity. As a father of three, and now a Papa, I am deeply burdened about the world view that now inundates our young people. In an age of indoctrination we must have a renewed emphasis on sound Bible doctrine.
This teaching must begin at home, and it must begin with children in the formative years. Truth matters and one must lay the foundation early in life.

For this reason, we are happy to begin releasing through ETJ a series of Little Steps books for young children. The first of these books, On Purpose, was written by my sister, Stacie Thomas. Stacie has served alongside her husband Ty for many years in church ministry and Christian education. She is not only a dedicated wife and mother and long time school teacher, but also a lifelong student of Scripture. Her beautifully illustrated book teaches the truth of both Creation and identity, and the divine purpose for every boy and girl.

This full-color, hard back book is complete with corresponding Scripture verses for each page and helps for parents and children’s workers. In essence, we believe it will be a wonderful resource to point preschool and elementary children to the foundational truths of God’s Word.

You may order On Purpose for your family, church, or school at enjoyingthejourney.org/product/on-purpose/. Bulk pricing is available. It is our prayer that God would use this tool to help advance His truth to another generation of children.

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well” (Psalm 139:14).

A journey through 1 John reveals our place in the family of God, how we can have assurance, and that our joy is rooted in Christ.

Journey through 1 John

“Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.” (John 1:47-48)

Why the Story of Nathanael Sitting Under the Fig Tree Matters

It also discusses the Four Sermons in Haggai It is in that context that God raises up the prophet Haggai with four sermons in four months. The Word of the Lord comes to Haggai, and he preaches four sermons. Each one of them is dated for us. Each sermon targets a different problem. You can read them in Haggai chapters one and two. In his first sermon (Haggai 1:1-15), Haggai preached on the danger of waiting when we should be working. They were waiting for a sign to build. He said, You don't need a sign, you need to obey God. Haggai's second sermon (Haggai 2:1-9) explained the danger of lamenting the past and missing the present. They were sorrowing over the destruction of the past temple. God said, Build a new one. It was G. Campbell Morgan who said, “It is impossible to unlock the present with the rusty key of the past." Many people are bogged down in their past and miss the present. Keep in mind what is at hand and what is ahead. The third sermon he preached (Haggai 2:10-19) described the danger of seeing only the material and neglecting the supernatural. They could see the work that needed to be done, but they missed the fact that God had resources that would help them get it done. The Lord was behind all of this. The fourth sermon (Haggai 2:20-23) warned against the danger of recognizing who is against us and forgetting who is for us. They were concentrating on the opposition and forgetting that “greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4). A journey through Haggai shows us the importance of performing the work that God has told us to do, and His glory in our obedience. Image leads to an overview of Haggai
