“And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.” ~ Romans 8:28 (NLT) ~ ACCORDING TO GOD’S PURPOSE The ancient Stoics embraced the mindset of Amor Fati, which means “Love of fate.”
The intent was to treat each moment — no matter how difficult — as something to embrace, not avoid.

Marcus Aurelius summed it up by saying that there is no greater harmony than to love only that which was destined. In other words, to choose to love whatever happens. Destiny and fate are not my favorite words, but there is an idea here that leads, ultimately, to a Biblical worldview.
Offerings and Connection Cards will be collected in the Offering Boxes located just inside the two main entrances into our Worship Center, as well as in the Office Hallway.
We don’t believe that life’s events are shaped by a random, impersonal force of fate. No, sometimes it’s quite personal. And intentional. We also know that God is not the one wreaking havoc in our daily lives. It’s our common enemy who is behind it all. continued
However, in the midst of the challenges, the obstacles, and the setbacks — even in the midst of continuing chaos — we can learn to love this moment, knowing that God controls the current of the sea we sail. And, in His perfect time, He controls the outcome, as well. Amor Fati is not the best way to say it; the goal is not to love “fate.” The goal is to view all things De Propositi Dei: According to God’s Purpose. God didn’t create the crisis, but He is the one who can redeem it. And He will — De Propositi Dei. Therefore, in a way similar to the Stoics, we can embrace life’s events, even the ugly ones, because we trust the God who controls the current of the sea we sail, and who causes all to work together for our good and his glory. Blessings on your week as you trust God to work the countless episodes of daily events into the framework of your life. I look forward to worshiping this Sunday with you, whether In-Person or on Online Church. We will be in Romans 15 once again as we look at finding the Big Picture in our lives. My sermon will be: “Writing the Story of Your Life.” Pastor Terrell
