Point of Life(for a Christian)?
-
ok well ive been questioning this for awhile,but whenever i hangout with someone, or watch an interesting youtube video or tv show, i forget about this feeling, whenever i have long periods of time to think(usually church, since my mind wanders),i remember this thought and i dwell on it. today i went to church and there was a guest speaker(he was pretty good), and he talked about miracles and i got into a deeper thought about this, on the way home from church, i asked my mom what she thought the point of life was. she said the point of life is to spread the word of Jesus, and convert other people to Christianity (thats how she worded it). but, whats the point of life other than that? i mean, i know you're supposed to accept Jesus into your heart with your time on earth, but im a teen and i want to be a famous musician, but whats the point of becoming a musician if 20 years after I die(at the most), people wont even remember my music. i just feel like everything I do is useless, and someone told me that the reason God made us is so he could love us, and we could love him back, but that just makes me feel like a common hamster, trapped in a huge cage. i just hope theres something im missing. ive thought about becoming a christian musician, but i honestly dont know of any gospel singers that have had legacies that lasted through the years( that may just be me). anyway, someone help me out with this?:)

Answer:
People won't remember what you say, unless you pause with paragraphs. Imagine if the Bible was formatted without paragraph breaks.

Life is what you make of it. Do you really want to spend your life trying to get people who don't want to hear about your church interested in your church? Do you want to spend your entire adult life alienating your neighbors? Modern evangelicals have forgotten that spreading the gospel doesn't mean cramming it down the throats of others. Does your mother consider Catholics Christians? If not, you belong to a religion that has completely lost the plot and is basically a cult. So when you turn 18, go. Make your demo tapes, find a band, do some club gigs, don't get offended at people over 21 in the audience drinking. So what if you have 100 fans or 1,000,000 fans? Yeah, the latter will help you pay the rent more easily. However, you are supposed to be making music for the love of making music. Not going for what is the most commercial. When you go for what will sell instead of what is in your soul, your music has no soul. But what is the point if people won't remember you 20 years after your dead? Let's see, who has been dead for 20 years and was a famous musician that people remember today... Elvis Presley springs to mind. John Lennon has been dead for almost as long. Janis Joplin's music lives on, as does the music of Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix. They still play Otis Redding on the radio. Bluesman Robert Johnson has been dead since 1938 and he is still a legend. However, if all you do is generic pap that is designed to sell this week, no one will remember you.
Let me go through your question Point by Point. Simply because there are few 2 many things, and few points to tie-up, base in the nature of your Q, your age and the thinks you want to pursue, achieved, and get?, Out of Life. As a Rule of thumb, Mom is always right, although Mom is a Woman, and she is basically different in many aspects to Man, one great quality she has, is that she carries the Virus of Love, specially for her offspring's. Why? Because she is certain there is a God, and there is Good and there is Evil, and the Love or Virus she carries, its directly from God. We don't carrie the same Virus, (Love), we need to learn it, and who can better teach us, other than God???. Mom a Woman, because she is a Woman, and if you learn that from one, then you know most everything to know about Love and about What woman's needs are. Woman's. But, Mother is only One. Because of the battle between Good and Evil, or to destroy God creation or to take over, and recruit others just not to fill they are the only Losers, and because their pressure over us, we become confuse. and sometimes we don't hear who we need to hear, first. Perhaps until now you still thinking everything you do, is Useless, searching for God because you want to better your self, isn't useless and it will never make you a Loser, under God watchful eyes. Been a celebrity, here in this Country it seams to be the maximum achievement, specially for people who born under the idea that the materialistic Philosophy and the materialistic theory are something infallible. Two words, Theories and Philosophy, they are many, and they can teach you a lot, and perhaps help you to brake the vicious Cycle that its only imaginary, perhaps you have hear, that "When God gives he gives in abundances", That is what happen in this Country, so if you born in this Country of course you can take your chair out of such abundance, right??, do you need help to do it??, who do you going to ask? and How?, I was a Musician, went Young and I was Good, although I can tell you isn't easy to handle all the pressure, "The better you are, the More pressure", and that doesn't help no one, to stay closer to God. Honestly?, there was a man that will talk, with the Animals, his Name was St. Francis, I bet you hear something about him before? and he live in a Cave, out way from peoples, because he only wanted to serve God. he still very Popular, so is Jesus and Job, and many other good Proven Christians. should I go on. Remember you are free to decide, your purposes in Life, and I don't know what its, but if you can find out what its, you can take it, accepted, pursue it and fallow it, to become. But the freedom God gave you, also allows, for you not to take it, and decide to do something else. For Now fallow your heart, learn and study, "God will Provide", and also think in this words "Bless are those who believed in the Works of my Son, because they don't know what I have prepared for them". One of the point in Life is for Man is to Grow and Multiply?, and have off-springs?, better yet, for Humans to Multiply, and have Good, Wonderful, Healthy and obedient to God, off-springs, but for that we need to continue the pursue of perfection, through Jesus Words. - "Made God Bless you".
The main reason for us to be on earth is so that we can spread the word of Jesus, so that one day, they will get the chance to live with God forever! And your music is a gift from God, and He wants you to use it to spread the word of God. And you never know whether or not people will remember your music. We remember Beethoven, dont we? And if you do spread the word of God through your music, I can promise you, it will not go unheard. Now if you think I mean that everyone in the world will have heard it and liked it, then no. I mean that your music will touch someone out there! A neighbor, a friend, or someone you dont even know! And lets just say that nobody liked or understood your music, remember, God did! And He loved it! He loves that you have tried your hardest, and thats what He wants! He doesnt care how many people you bring to Him, He cares how much effort you put into it! Your music is a gift. Use it to praise the Lord!
I'd say its to tell God's word and to save people from hell.
were hear to prepare our self for the next life we seek god for salvation then follow him if our life is fashioned on the things of the world it will seem useless we live here, we die, every thing we did here will be forgotten and not remembered that is why jesus said put your treasures in heaven not here on earth
I think you're kinda missing the point dude. And please don't take this the wrong way,it might just be your age,sometimes it comes with age,understanding,that is. The point IS,we are not here to make an impression,for example,a famous anything. While that's all well and good,we're here for the glory of GOD. All things we do,are to glorify HIM. If it's not for HIS glory,then,guess what? We're not supposed to be doing it,lol. I know,it's rough,especially depending on where you are in your walk with HIM at the moment. Being a Christian musician would be good,since the Lord gave you that gift to glorify HIM,and spread his love and the news about Jesus Christ.Also,I feel the point is to love and be loved,to pass that love on to others. To procreate to make another generation,when you're OLD enough,lol,so that generation can also spread the news.It would be good for people to remember your music. But it would be GLORIOUS for them to remember your music in THE LORD'S NAME. I hope I helped you out a little bit,gave you something else to think about.Sometimes when you're younger,it's hard to think outside the box,hard to think about anyone but yourself,no offense,it's just your age,you'll grow out of it,everyone's like that at that age,with age comes wisdom,patience,and knowledge,and with any help,it's HIS wisdom,patience,and knowledge. Just pray,and the Lord will SHOW you what path to take,and with God,all things are possible. God bless,and may He be with you to light your path
