Read and discuss the quote from John Frame: “Scripture calls us to glorify God in the everything we do. In one sense, we cannot increase God’s glory. But when our lives image God, others see the presence of God in us. To glorify God is to recognize him as the chief fact of human life. He determines our purpose and governs our lives. Everything we do must take him into account, and whenever we properly take him into account, our actions are right…There is no area of life where we are not called both to glorify God and to enjoy him forever.”
