Metamorphoses - Conclusion

I can imagine the reaction you had when you read last week's message about metamorphoses. You probably thought, "Why on earth this woman transformed her body like that? She was so beautiful." You probably felt sorry for her too.

I won't get in to details about her bizarre looks. It's pretty much clear to me that she's lost and trying to overcome her past by changing OUTWARDLY first. It seems like the devil found a way to reveal his true colors, literally. 

On the other hand, I have no doubt you felt disgusted by the strong images of Bryan Widener removing his tattoos, but also very much encouraged by the man's determination to eliminate his past in order to become a new man. He changed INWARDLY first. 

LESSON: Much less is asked of us and we tend to say, 'it's too hard!'. One way or another you're transforming yourself, either for good or for bad. 

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. - Rm 12:2

Metamorphose

One way or another we are TRANSFORMING ourselves, either in to someone, 

or 'something', for that matter, good or bad.

I'd like you to take a look at the video and picture below. 

Watch, look, stare and take time to ponder and make your own conclusions.

I'll get back to you in a few days to talk more about it.

Be What You Aim To Be - Conclusion

Last week I posted the video interview of the Bronco Denver's quarterback Tim Tebow, where he talks freely about his faith in Jesus. Without hesitance he declares his commitment to God and does not consider the alternative. 


If you are a believer you probably loved it. If not a believer you either respected his choice or labeled him a fanatic. 


Well, my intention is not to discuss the video but his attitude. He does not care what people think. He is what he is. If people don't like it, their problem. Eat less as we say in Brazil. 


Many youths hide their faith and that they go to church from their classmates and co-workers. They are too concerned with their reputation, if they have any.


In a much smaller scale, compared to Tebow, they deny God. On the other hand, Tebow confess God in front of the cameras, for the whole world to see, including the fact that he is a virgin.


Perhaps that's one of the main reasons behind his success.


Jesus said, "But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven." Mt 10:33


How about you? Will you continue denying Him?
