Renew Your Mind
Sometimes your computer needs to be updated. There are bugs that need to be eliminated, upgrades that need to happen. God transforms us through His Word. While we conform to the patterns of this world, accepting its values and seeking its definition of success, we can’t experience God’s best. But when we dedicate ourselves to studying and obeying His Word, we’re continually made new.
If we are the Temple where redemption happens, what is our plan to draw people to Him? The answer is to relearn an ancient, almost forgotten practice: Hospitality. In a time when loneliness is an epidemic, when few people know their neighbors, something as simple as a meal together can be the starting place for something beautiful to happen.
When our bond with God was severed by our sin, He didn’t give up on us. He made a second Eden, a place for us to meet with Him and be redeemed. That place was the Temple, and the events that happened there teach us about a God who is mighty to save, the cost of our sin, and His plans for us.
