Hi Blogger
Wether you like it or not, the pressure to change is constantly on us.
We need to be careful with this pressure because it's a blunt instrument. Large scale advertising campaigns doesn't differentiate between you and the next person. The same goes for government policies and societal expectations. Before we know it we can all look the same ;-)
In a letter to the Christians in Rome the apostle Paul writes to them and say:
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Rom 12:1
It's a call to resist the mould citizens of that city were being pushed into. Instead they were being called to submit to the transformation that the God of the Gospel would do in them by renewing their thinking.
Prayer: Lord Jesus Christ, help us - in view of your great mercy - to submit more and more of our thinking to you. We ask that as we do this you will show us how we can uniquely worship you with the gifts and abilities you gave each one of us. Amen
Notice:
Only 4 days to go before our 6 pm Carols by Candlelight event on the 12th of December at the Hilton Hotel in Rotherhithe Street. Spread the word.
Regards
Kruger de Kock
