WOW - I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT IT HAS BEEN SO LONG IN BETWEEN POSTS. ALOT HAS CHANGED SINCE MY LAST UPDATE.
LAST TIME I WAS A YOUTH PASTOR - THIS TIME MY WIFE AND I ARE FULFILLING A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT TYPE OF ROLE WITHIN OUR CHURCH. I AM THE NEW COLLEGE AND YOUNG ADULT PASTOR. OUR GROUP IS CALLED EIKON - WHICH IS GREEK FOR THE WORD IMAGE. BASED OFF OF 2 CORINTHIANS 3:18 - "BEING TRANSFORMED INTO HIS IMAGE."
THAT IS THE POINT - RIGHT? TO BE TRANSFORMED FROM OUR WORLDLY THINKING TO ETERNAL THINKING.
IT'S ALL A QUESTION OF WHAT IS YOUR IMAGE? CAN PEOPLE TELL THAT YOU FOLLOW CHRIST OR DO THEY SEE YOU FOLLOWING THE NEWEST, HOTTEST, LATEST CELEBRITY.
DO THEY SEE CHRIST IN YOU, THROUGH YOU, AROUND YOU, NEAR YOU. CAN THEY HEAR HIM IN YOUR VOICE AND IN THE WORDS THAT YOU SAY? CAN THEY SEE HIM IN YOUR ATTITUDE AND HOW YOU ACT/REACT TO OTHERS? CAN THEY FEEL THE PRESENCE OF GOD WHEN THEY ARE AROUND YOU?
THESE ARE QUESTIONS THAT WE HAVE TO CONSTANTLY ASK OURSELVES. ARE YOU BECOMING MORE LIKE THE IMAGE OF GOD OR MORE LIKE THE IMAGE OF THE WORLD?
IT'S A FAIR QUESTION DON'T YOU THINK?
