What Are You Going to Do with Your Life?

By J. D. Greear

What are you going to do with your life? We all want our lives to matter, to mean something. But, the truth is most people don’t have a compelling answer to this question.

He encourages readers to view their lives from the perspective of eternity and start making decisions now that they’ll be glad they made then.
