Everybody has scars. We fall off our bikes, we run into stuff, we antagonize our siblings...the list goes on and on. But, some scars go deeper than the skin, all the way to our heart. The neat thing though, is that all scars tell a story. There was one man, whose scars tell a story of redemption, love, and healing. His name is Jesus.

The call of God on a life brings with it a sense of purpose, a mission, a knowledge of something bigger than oneself. A called person will make a huge impact on the world, maybe even change history. The key though, is not letting your own ambition drive you, but to let that call pull you.

When God first made man, he gave him a set of rules and laws to live by, and these laws were sufficient, for a time. Just before the birth of Christ, these laws no longer seemed to work, not because they were bad, but because man's heart had changed. Jesus came to establish a new covenant through His blood. When He left, He promised a Comforter that would come soon after Him.

Change is that one thing that is necessary to growth. You can't have one thing without the other, and for the church to grow, there is a need for it to change it's methods in order to reach our changing world.

When times of change approach you in your life, you have to stop and ask yourself, "Is good enough, good enough?" In order to move forward into the destiny God has for you, it's time to shake off some old attitudes, to break old habits, and to step forward into a life of faith.

When a person is born again that’s been a sinner, transformation happens, but their mind still has to be renewed. They are a new creature in Christ, but they still have that old mindset and way of thinking that has been shaped by today's culture. Sanctification is that renewing of the mind. It's an ongoing process that takes us from where we were to where we are going.

God has a way of putting you in situations that you pray for, but not in the way you were expecting. Sometimes he waits until you're desperate, wholly seeking, and ready to hand your all to him. When that happens, we no longer limit God by our requests, and He is able to go beyond what we thought possible.

The whole of life can be geographically mapped in two places. The first being the secular culture, and the second being the end result of God's plan for your life. These two places are on either side of a great chasm and there is only one thing that can span them - the church of the Living God.
