The world is changing at a tremendous rate. I'm sitting in Chapter's coffee shop working on my sermon. I'm preaching on "How to Stop Procrastating" so I better get this completed before Saturday at 12 midnight.
Our present day world is a marvel to behold. I drove up here in my van. Paid for my coffee with my debit card. Connected to Hotspot wireless with a credit card. With access to the web I can look up my sermon passage on 110 different Bible versions. I can review the passage through hundreds of commentaries. We live in amazing times.
Yet, is it said of us, "They have turned the world upside down", like was sai of the early disciples? Why did their world notice Christianity when they had no vehicles, no laptops, no wireless and no internet? How did they see and be apart of the changes of tranforming their world?
What the answer be "the Holy Spirit"?
We live in a world that has so much stuff and yet so little real power. Power according to the Bible is when a life can be completely transformed. This takes "God power". It can not be faked or tricked. It must be real. A real encounter with God's Son must occur.
Today's world has so much stuff, how do we get more of the early church's power? How do we say "silver and gold, I have none but such as a have, stand up and walk!" Church let's ask for thepower of the Holy Spirit to come visit us. Let's ask for transofrmed lives.
Holy Spirit come fill me...
