Transform... We learned yesterday that "Trans" can mean through. The spear pierced Jesus' side. The spear went through Him. (John 19:34). "Form" is support. We have seen houses as they are built. First we see the rock foundation on the ground. The wood is next. The wood reaches up to the sky. These are two kinds of support for the house. Think of your mind, heart and soul as the house. Let God transform your mind, heart and soul. Let God's word go through you and support you as you become new person in Christ. "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" (2 Corinthians 5:17) Maybe you have been a Christian for a few days or maybe you have been a Christian a long time. It does not matter how long any of us have been saved. We should continue to change and improve until our last day on Earth. It takes a lifetime to slowly transform our lives. Each day we will become closer to G...

We go through change. Sometimes it is an easy trip or journey to go through change. Sometimes, it is long or difficult. Going through an experience can cause many emotions. We can go through an experience with fear or anger. We can go through an experience with acceptance or resentment.

Form is the shape of a body for making clothes. (Ladies understand this best too!) Men have seen these in movies. The body form are almost like we see in clothing stores. Women use this to make sure the clothes they are making will fit perfect. W...
New Year's Eve
Many people think about the New Year as a fresh start. People make promises to themselves at the beginning of a New Year because most people want better lives. Some promises are to start good, new habits. Some promises are to stop bad, old habits. These are good goals, but most times, our promises and plans end too soon. We did not change ourselves. We might become sad and blame ourselves. We are disappointed. Maybe some of us realize we can never change. Why not try a new and different way to start this New Year? This year, we should not try and change ourselves. This year, we should allow God to make changes in our lives. Romans 12:1: So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. The Message Romans 12: 1 Dear friends, God is good. So I beg you to offer your bodies to him as a living sacrifice, pure and pleasing. That's ...
