(This is an excerpt from an interview several years ago by Paul Bradshaw with Rick Warren, author of "The Purpose Driven Life" and Pastor of Saddleback Church in California. During the interview, Rick said:)

People ask me, what is the purpose of life?

And I respond: In a nutshell, life is preparation for eternity. We were not made to last forever, and God wants us to be with Him in Heaven.

One day my heart is going to stop, and that will be the end of my body—but not the end of me.

I may live 60 to 100 years on earth, but I am going to spend trillions of years in eternity. This is the warm-up act--the dress rehearsal. God wants us to practice on earth what we will do forever in eternity.

We receive emails from our listeners around the world every month and they are so encouraging and humbling to us. We’d like to share some of those with you:

Location: Pakistan Comments: I want to personally thank you for your ministry. Presently I am volunteering in a remote village area of Pakistan, with school children. I have no local Christian support and no income to pay for music. I was searching online for worship music and it was all for a trial period, then I needed to pay. Since I am not earning an income this was a problem :). I believe God in His wonderful provision led me to your website and I am ever so grateful. Between worship, sermons that my pastor sends and Gods strength (not in that order, lol) I continue my work in Pakistan. Thank you again. It means more to my daily walk with Christ than you will ever know.

Location: Unknown Comments: I really enjoy listen to the instrumental site at work as no one knows that I'm playing Christian Praise and Worship. My employers are from India and are Hindu. They have all the trademarks of their belief hanging around.

AllWorship.com reached a major milestone in 2014. We’ve now been broadcasting on the Internet for 10 years. We fully realize that this accomplishment has nothing to do with us and our abilities. It has everything to do with God and His awesome power. We can see God’s hands guiding this ministry at every decision point, even before AllWorship began. Here is the story of how AllWorship came to be.
