Transformation
Thursday, September 17, 2009 at 9:57AM Transformation is a word that conjures up all sorts of images in my mind. Caterpillar to Butterfly, tadpole to frog, Bruce Wayne to Batman, Clark Kent to Superman, need I go on? One of the coolest parts of Christianity is we get to experience transformation in our own lives. This time though it's not a physical change but a transformation of our mistakes for God's goodness. Romans 12:2 says, "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." That was the topic of last weeks Sunday gathering at the AMC theater. The process takes time but as a seed grows and produces fruit, so the kingdom within us grows until we begin growing and producing fruit in our lives and the lives of people around us. The Bible says, "Freely you have received, now freely give." Once we experience transformation we need to pass it on to our families, workplaces, schools, cities, etc. It truly can become contagious and spread. Maybe that is why Isaiah prophecied that of the increase of His kingdom there would be no end. Until next time...
