If you follow this blog, you will discover that it’s all about a desire to see the power of the gospel transforming our lives. I think that most believers recognize that at least to some degree, something is missing and at the same time they believe that there is more. I am not implying that every Christian says something is missing-I’m addressing perhaps most believers. One reason I think this is a major issue is that the Church, in my opinion, is not impacting our society to the degree it could or should. Because of what God is doing in my own life, I believe that the answer to this “dilemma” is found as the Gospel has it intended affect inside of us. The tendency for us in this modern day is to fine satisfaction in “mental agreement” alone. Now, when I read the scriptures, I find that the overriding message is that the Gospel transforms. God has called a people to Himself and He has made them new creations-compatible to Himself. Pursing this gospel is a lifetime journey-there is always more to learn and experience in this life-changing Gospel. The key for us is to examine, evaluate our lives, and see if we have a hunger to experience this Gospel that Jesus ushered in by His death and resurrection. I’m not suggesting a morbid, guilt-ridden introspection, but one that can lead to life and freedom. In a future blog, I want to talk about whether or not we can influence God giving us revelation.
Think about: What, if anything you are passionate about?
Scripture: Ephesians 1:16b-19b. “….making mention of you in my prayers; that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe….”.
