Demo Day - Embracing Change in Your Life

Best part of a new project - demo day

 

Bible calls this sanctification - to set apart, make holy - consecrate (with force to make sacred)

 

Tear up the carpeting

1. NO going back!
2. You see all the EXTRA work that you didn’t know you had before…
3. It’s Worth it!

 

I want to be a better man, a better husband, a better dad, a better employer/ee, a better friend, a better…

 

Biblical principles of change…

1. Romans 12 - God is in the business of change - don’t conform to the old patterns, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…
2. Ephesians 4 - put off the old self, put on the new self…
3. Colossians 3 - put to death what is earthly - put on as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you must also forgive…And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.
4. God is prepared for us to move in a new direction - Deuteronomy 17 - the laws concerning Israel’s kings - they didn’t even have a king…
5. God’s principles are timeless - He doesn’t change - the real change we need in our lives is the constant transformation of our old selves into the image of Jesus…

 

5 Things to Help You Change

1. Read more - you become a more reflective person, less thrown about why the winds and wilds of the day…
2. Deepen solid relationships with people who challenge you to be better…
3. Honest assessment of your situation, life, attitude, circumstances - the carpeting is old, it needs to be torn up and tossed out…
4. Don’t be afraid to ask for help - Biblical counseling, mature Christian friend, God’s Word as a light unto your feet and a lamp unto your path…
5. It’s Worth it - it will cost you, but it’s worth it…
