Metamorphed

What does it means to have a Christian Worldview? Ponder this – Do I, do you, really believe, that what you believe, is really real? In other words, how does your life choices, how you live, how you spend your time, how you spend your money, etc. - line up with what you say you really believe to be true of who God is and who you are in relationship to Him? For instance, if we truly believe God is omnipresent, would we go, say and do all we are currently going, saying and doing? Realistically, every time we sin, we are answering no to that question. There is only one way to live an authentic Personal Biblical Worldview and that is to take Romans 12:2 seriously. We will be transformed by the renewing of our minds. As we study and apply God's word to our lives, God promises His Holy Spirit will transform us so that we look more and more like Jesus. So the things that make Jesus weep, will make us weep. The things that make Jesus joyful, will make us joyful. We will be metamorphed (like the caterpillar is forever changed into the butterfly). We will naturally, more and more, reflect the glory of God in our lives. There could be no better gift to our children, to our families to our community, our country and church than for us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. Can you imagine what would happen if all of us lived like we really believed what we say we believe is really real? Last time 12 guys did that, it transformed the world.
