What Is Your Destiny?

What Is Your Destiny?Does life have a purpose? Does it have real meaning? Is life anything more than a brief span on earth, with nothing but eternity on either side of this physical existence?

This is the question of the ages, a riddle that has challenged human beings since they came to be: Why am I here? Why do I exist?

Thousands of years ago, the biblical King David looked up into the night sky and wrote down his thoughts regarding man's relationship to his Creator: "When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained, what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him?"

David wondered about the purpose of man just as we do today. Every one of us was created for a purpose, but few understand what that great purpose is. Our free booklet What Is Your Destiny? will help you understand the incredible truth about why you were born!
