    God Has a Plan ForYour Life

    Who am I?Where did I come from?

    Where am I going?

    .o generation that has ever 'al-ed the

    face of the earth has sought more diligentlyfor the ans'ers to these ultimate (uestions!

    Most of the initial pro)lems of man-ind

    today are the result of the intensive search

    for a missing lin-!

    Man 'as created to 'orship *od and

    deep 'ithin him there is a place reserved

    for that purpose! Without *od in his life

    there is an emptiness2a vacuum2a void

    that cannot )e filled regardless of ho' hardhe may try!

    /he dead end of the cults and drugs are

    t'o of the roads modern man has traveled

    in an attempt to fill the aching void in hislife!

    %s a result of man4s intense cravings

    the theme of our generation has evolved

    into 5&o your o'n thing5 % spirit of

    selfishness has )een loosed upon the 'orld!

    #nderlying this simple statement is the

    philosophy that there is no pattern to life! It

    does not matter 'hat you thin- or 'hat

    you do! /he most important thing is toplease yourself! It ma-es no difference

    'hat effect this may have on others or

    yourself today tomorro' or the ne+t day!

    /o many this is a very comforting

    thought for if there is no pattern then thereis no pattern ma-er! 7o'ever if there is a

    plan then it necessitates the e+istence of a

    planner!

    /he greatest delusion ever to fall uponthe mind of man is the assumption that
