EPISODE 144 - To Glorify or Enjoy Forever?

Dennis Hollinger explores the timeless question at the heart of the Christian life: What is our ultimate purpose? Drawing from Scripture and Christian theology, Hollinger examines the relationship between glorifying God and finding our deepest joy in Him. This thoughtful article from Knowing & Doing invites readers to consider how delighting in God and living for His glory are not competing purposes, but deeply connected aspects of faithful Christian living.
