"Our only purpose in life is to bring glory and honor to Him, God."
I think you are reading this statement too narrowly.
The Westminster Catechism begins with the question about man's chief end being that "Man's chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever."
When Christ was asked what the greatest commandment of the law was, he replied: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
I think these two commandments are connected. Clearly one of the ways to love and glorify God is by serving one another. God has provided plenty of specific instructions for achieving both of these goals. In fact, I think it could be argued that it is impossible to please others unless you are serving God at the same time.
