![]() The book Changed into His Image by Jim Berg is not to be taken lightly. ![]() This book can not change you - but it can show you how GOD wants to change you, to live in His image. I could go on about the lessons I learned, the first being the concept of the "tea bag": Chrisians are like a tea bag when we get into hot water, what is in us will come out.sadly, I've seen some ugly things come out of me! I need to be MORE changed. It is a life of sacrifice - and yet, a rich life of blessing because God provides all we NEED. Unattainable - but something to strive for daily - to be LIKE JESUS, to surrendar all our earthly desires to His will. The earthly things will not matter so much as we conform to HIS image, the very pattern of God. Our pastor has often said, "God is more concerned about our character than our comfort He cares more about our holiness than our happiness." Now, the strange - and wonderful - fact is that if we strive to be a holy Christian of character, we will find COMFORT in God and HAPPINESS in serving Him completely. ![]() A potentially "life changing" book! What is our goal as Christians? To live a nice life here on earth & then go to heaven? - this book made me realize there is SO MUCH MORE to it than the here-and-now. ![]()
