After reading My last book and also digging into one of the new ones I am working on, I am convinced of our need to be changed to reflect the character of God. I wouldn't say this is a new revelation for me but one God is having me focus on more intently. I love this quote from the McManus book I am reading. "God formed us in his image and then breathed life into us. God's life in us is sustained by character. When we lose the character of God, we lose the life of God in us. But to have his character, we must first die to ourselves, because to become like Him is what it means to really live."
I read this today and I was prompted to pass this info along to you. Let God examine your character. If we are not becoming more like Christ, He is not "living" in us.

- If you've stopped by to check this blog out, you may see pics of my family, you may hear about my work, you may have to deal with me talking about something I love, maybe a rant every once in a while and possibly some wisdom, but mostly just thoughts. I am a Creative Arts Pastor in Southern Oregon and I absolutely love what I do. I get to be who God created me to be and do that for a living and as ministry. I am very grateful. This blog has been a journey of practicing discipline and I hope to learn so much more through it and from you...the reader. Everything I write will be from my heart whether selfish or humble. Enjoy!
