TRANSFORMING YOUR WORLD

Blessings all;
It is so hard to believe that we are so rapidly closing in on the conclusion of another year. What a good time to reflect on life's journey thus far. What has gone well, what not so well? What, if anything would you do differently? What have you learned about yourself? About God? About your journey? How has your story changed? Has your worldview changed? These are simple yet important evaluation questions that must be asked if we desire the future God has for us. Where you've been and where you are are clues to where your going. If we make no adjustments or radical change, in some cases, the future will only be more of the past. However, if you desire a different outcome or direction then different choices must be made. There is no magic in thinking on these things this time of year. Its just a good marker in time, an alarm clock, to do so. Many want "new levels" without a sober look at where they are. What it looks like depends on our vantage point. Do we see ourselves and our future as others do, from an earthly worldview, shrouded by the darkness of this world? Or do we see it all from the vantage point of heaven where, as the Apostle Paul declares in Eph. 2, we are seated with Christ in Heaven. This is a very different vantage point in which to see the world, its history and future and our place in it. Ask our Lord to help you see it as He sees it. Not as we want to see it but as He sees it. Then ask Him to help you live the life He has prepared for you so that your life will bring glory to His great name.
Rev. D and I had a great time meeting Matt Crouch (Paul & Jan's son) and many others at the TBN studio for a screening of Matt's new movie "The Preacher's Kid." Its their first with an all African-American cast. If it comes to your town, it is well worth seeing. Pray for and support this and other Christian productions and publications. It will help the Body of Christ reclaim the airways. Look for TMI-ATL's introduction, Jan 5, on TBN's Praise the Lord program.
May our God, rich in mercy and grace, bless each of you.
