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.

TOTAL COMPLIANCE REQUIRED

When we teach about tithes and first fruits, some people think that it is the pastor's way of making money but they are making a great mistake.
