THE POWER TO CHANGE

READ:

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
-Romans 12:2

THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Isaiah 37-38
Colossians 3

Educator and best-selling author Tony Wagner is a firm believer in "disruptive innovation" that changes the way the world thinks and works. In his book, Creating Innovators: The Making of Young People Who Will Change the World, he says, "Innovation occurs in every aspect of human endeavour," and "most people can become more creative and innovative - given he right environment and opportunities."
Paul was a first-century innovator who travelled throughout Asia Minor telling people how they could be transformed by faith in Jesus Christ.
To the Christians in Rome, Paul wrote, "Don't copy the behaviour and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think" (Romans 12:2 NLT). He urged them to give themselves fully to God (v.1). In a self-centred, greedy, and grasping world, Paul nurtured and mentored them in how to live a Christ-centred, giving life.
The world has changed dramatically since Paul's time. But the longings of people for love, forgiveness, and the power to change remain the same. Jesus, the Great Innovator, offers all of these and invites us to experience a new and different life in Him. - David McCasland
I'm thankful for the ways You're changing me, Lord.
Help me to be open to You and to cooperate with Your work in me.
Transform me to be like You.

God takes us as we are but never leaves us that way.

SPIRITUAL WARFARE I

When we are told to put on the whole armour of God, one thing becomes clear instantly. This is the fact that there is a God. We cannot be talking of the armour of God if there is no God. Anyone who thinks that there is no God is a fool (Psalm 14:1). You have to pray that God would reveal Himself to you. The...More
