CHRIST CAUSES CHANGE
Earlier
today, I was blessed to read a brief essay by triathlon and marathon coach, David
Roher, which I’ve reprinted below for your spiritual edification and enlightenment:
“The
motor home allows us to put all the conveniences of home on wheels. A camper no longer need contend with sleeping
in a sleeping bag, cooking over a fire, or hauling water from a stream. Now he can park a fully equipped home on a
cement slab in the midst of a few pine trees and hook up to a water line, a
sewer line and electricity. One motor
home I saw recently had a satellite dish attached on top. No more bother with dirt, no more smoke from
the fire, no more drudgery of walking to the stream. Now it is possible to go camping and never
have to go outside. We buy a motor home
with the hope of seeing new places and getting out into the world. Yet we deck it out with the same furnishings we
have in our living room. Thus nothing
really changes. We may drive to a new
place, set ourselves in new surroundings, but the newness goes unnoticed for we’ve
only carried along our old setting. Remember that the adventure of new life in
Christ begins when the comfortable patterns of the old life are left behind.”
Amen,
Brother Roher, Amen!
And do not be conformed to this world,
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may
prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of
God. (Romans 12:2)
Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and
please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING.
Maranatha!
