Are We Being Changed?

Rev. Kent Siladi, the Conference Minister of the Florida Conference of the United Church of Christ, preached at our church this past Sunday. It was an excellent message, which is available to listen to here. The central idea, for me, anyway is this. He commented that to be a Christian means that we have a life transformation. The purpose of the church is to invite people into transformation. The important question for us is "Are we being changed?"

I couldn't agree more. The question is foundational. It is primary. Because nothing else can happen unless personal transformation is taking place. As personal transformation takes place, then societal transformation can take place. Then the Kingdom of God starts to emerge, right here, right now.
