“Meaningless! Meaningless!”
says the Teacher.
“Utterly meaningless!
Everything is meaningless.”
(Ecclesiastes 1:3 NIV)
Who am I? What is my purpose? What am I worth? Why am I here? Who put me here?
When someone considers the possibility that life lacks meaning, he can experience an extreme form of anxiety, and despair or hopelessness, unless he gets a satisfactory answer. He needs a moral compass to navigate through life in a meaningful way.

In this blog I take a close look at a wide variety of topics using the Bible as my lens. When we look at the world through the lens of scripture we discover life-changing truth that transforms us. We discover our identity, purpose and worth. We find answers to life's most pressing questions. “If you don't know where you're going any road will take you there.” But when we look at the world through the lens of scripture we find the "way, the truth and the life;" then we live life to the fullest.
