Transformers



"WE SHALL NOT ALL SLEEP, BUT WE SHALL ALL BE CHANGED" - I Corinthians 15:51

I spoke these words once to a group of people and told them this verse should be put on the nursury door! A few giggled and I thought after that they forgot about it. One person did not forget and they beautifully embroided these words on a piece for the church's nursury. Babies are not the only ones that need to be changed. Many grown-up followers of Jesus still act like children that still need spiritual milk rather than spiritual food which they still can not chew on yet.

I saw the new transformers movie which was the best one to date even though I thought it was too long of a movie. The movie is about these robot aliens that can transform themselves into cars and trucks and all kinds of electronical devices. These good transformers try to rescue and save the world from bad transformers. This reminds me of the need for tranformational discipleship in the church today. Will God's people be transformed by the Spirit of God into the likeness of God's Son or will we be transformed by the world into the likeness of the dark powers and spirits that rule this world? We all become what we worship and the question is what do we really worship?
