Achieving God-Inspired Goals
Achieving God-Inspired Goals
God created us in His image! There is no higher quality of life than that!
God is perfect in every way and the book of Genesis tells us that is how God created human beings.
When God’s image bearers broke His life-laws, sin and death entered man and the world releasing the pain, suffering, and sorrow we all experience at different times in our lives.
Jesus came to turn things around. Over and over again He said things like, “The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they might have life and have it abundantly (to the full).” (John 10:10)
“He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.” (John 7:38)
“I am Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in darkness, but will have the Light of life.” (John 8:12)
God designed us to live life at the highest possible levels and that is made possible out of a relationship with the Source of eternal, abundant life.

It Is a Growing Process
The second we receive Jesus as our Sin-Forgiver and Leader, our Savior and Lord, we are born again by His Word and His Holy Spirit.
2 Peter 1:3 says that we become “partakers of the divine nature” . The instant we are made new in Jesus, thousands of incredible possibilities are opened up to us. We have the opportunity to grow and keep growing more and more into the very likeness of Jesus Himself.
We will never be God; but it is God’s plan that we grow more and more into the very likeness and image of Jesus Himself.
Romans 8:29 “Whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren…”
2 Corinthians 3:18 “But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.”
Ephesians 4:15b “we are to grow up in all aspects into Him, who is the head, even Christ…”

God’s Plans Are Better Than Our Plans
The enemy is an expert in deception. He is really good at making things appear different than they really are. That is especially true regarding God’s nature and His desires for us.
God is not holding us back from the greatest quality of life possible; He wants us to experience it. His will, His plan is that every single one of us grow from our initial level of “glory” to the next to the next, until all of us grow up in all aspects into the likeness of Jesus Himself in quality of life and character.
This is not just for a few “special ones”; this is for every single person who has received Jesus.
There is simply no level of life higher than this and there is no doubt about it; this is God’s desire for YOU!

Paul once wrote
“According to the grace of God, which was given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation and another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it. For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” (1 Corinthians 3:10-11)
No one person gets all of God’s wisdom, knowledge, or grace gifts. We all get a portion, based on God’s calling and our faithfulness to seek Him. At TruVineMission we are sharing with you the best insights we’ve gained in over 35 years of devoted study, practice, and working with people.

Our Goal
Our goal is to help busy, hard-working, but imperfect people experience godly growth and transformation, no matter how much time, or lack of it, you have to biblical growth practices. The principles and practices we teach can be done in minutes a day or hours a day, depending on what is happening in your life.
Whenever we write, teach, or record we have in mind people who are sincere in their desire to live God’s plans, to live the greatest lives they possibly can while having careers that require energy and focus. People who want to know God deeply while they are building strong families and relationships, who are serving others in the church and in the community.
So we are continually putting together books, courses, and coaching programs that can be implemented in a few minutes a day (when that is all the time you have) or can be done at a more time-intensive approach, when that is desired or needed.
Free articles and videos are regularly added to this site along with reasonably priced books, courses, and coaching programs.
