God is not just interested in the creating of 'new' man, but also in the creating of new conditions through man. - D. Bonhoeffer
To the woman 'taken in adultery,' after Jesus forgave her He also told her to 'leave' that life of sin. Hmm!
You have to admit, accepting Christ was the greatest decision we could have ever made in our lives. Being forgiven, accepted by God, and heaven bound is truly mind-boggling. But for many that's where our 'Christianity' begins AND ends - with our 'new life' in Christ. But God expects so much more from us. There are more who need to know about Him, there are inhumane conditions that need to be addressed, wrongs that need to be righted, love that needs to be extended. In short, a better world; a godly world to be worked out. And that's where each of us come in. The Great Commission is to 'go and make disciples', but even if we never make a disciple we need to make sure that at least we make a difference.
Until Monday......
