The goal of the Christian life is a deeper, more intimate relationship with Jesus Christ.

If you instruct the brethren in these things, you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished in the words of faith and of the good doctrine which you have carefully followed. But reject profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise yourself toward godliness. (1 Timothy 4:6-7)

While searching online for the “Link of the Day” for yesterday’s devotional titled “How to Listen to God”, I ended up listening to a great message from Dr. Charles F. Stanley. He is one of today’s most gifted Bible teachers.

Dr. Stanley explains that the purpose of the Institute for Christian Living is to help you:
1) Develop a deeper, more intimate relationship with Jesus Christ
2) Study God’s Word in a brand new way
3) Experience life-changing Bible studies
4) Record thoughts in your private online journal
5) Fellowship with a global community of believers
