Many Christians believe they need to live perfect lives in order to earn their future rewards (whatever they consider those to be) and to get into heaven. Does that sound right to you? Do you ever ask yourself, “What is the purpose of living a good life here if I have to wait until I get to heaven to get my reward?” This class will attempt to answer that question. Building on Rick Warren’s “A Purpose Driven Life” book, learners will examine Christian living and what God asks of each of us. The class will contain readings, discussion forums, and occasional Zoom discussions.
In addition to Blackboard forum interactions, Zoom meetings will be held one week at a time with learner input.
Learners will need to obtain this book: The Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth Am I Here For? by Rick Warren
