Transformed by beholding
Romans 12:2 is the most iconic and perhaps important verse on how we are transformed. Transformed by the renewing of our mind. Never forget that. But, it is not the only thing the Bible says about how we are transformed. This verse is equally important: And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of […]

Transformed by worship
There is something about worship. There is something about looking at God that makes us godlier. There is something about basking in His love that makes us more loving. There is something about thinking about His grace that makes us more gracious. There is something about worship. On that day we will be like Him, […]

The research on spiritual growth
There has been a good deal of research done in recent years into what transforms people’s lives. This is what researchers and students of the subject have found: No Spiritual Discipline is more important than the intake of God’s Word. Nothing can substitute for it. There simply is no healthy Christian life apart from a […]

An app that changed my life
There are a number of good apps for Scripture Memory. I want to recommend Scripture Typer. There is a free version that will allow you to experiment with how the app works. There is a small fee for the full version. Scripture Typer has a number of wonderful features, but the one I love best […]

How to be transformed
We are transformed by hearing, reading, studying, memorizing and meditating on God’s Word. The greatest of these is Scripture Memory. Nothing will transform your mind like the power of lodging God’s word in your heart. I am fascinated by the technology of GPS. How a little box can talk to satellites miles above the earth […]

Does the SBC need more prayer?
Let me pose a question to you: Have you ever heard the Lord say, “Quit praying—get up off your knees”? The Lord spoke these very words to Moses: “And the LORD said to Moses, ‘Why do you cry to Me?’ ” (Exodus 14:15). The literal Hebrew meaning of the verse is, “Why are you shrieking at […]

My favorite verse and why
My favorite verse is Hebrews 11:6. What do we learn about God from this verse? And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Hebrews 11:6 (NIV2011) What do we learn about God? We learn […]

What are the seven horns and seven eyes?
But there’s still more in this tapestry of Jesus. The Lamb, you notice, has “seven horns and . . . seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.”27 These words, read in a group study, can be just like red meat to a lion! Many a home Bible study is […]

That it may go well with you
The promise that God is good is repeated many times in Scripture. It is a repeated theme through the whole Bible. Here are a few examples: “Honor your father and your mother, as the LORD your God has commanded you, so that you may live long and that it may go well with you in […]

Belief or belief?
You might think that you believe exercise is good, but you don’t exercise and you should have a Quiet Time, but you didn’t this morning. Let’s look at two ways we use this word belief. I had a long layover in Auckland, New Zealand once. Someone had told me about the Sky Tower. At over […]
