Not Of This World
I see that bumper sticker graphics a lot: “NOTW”. It’s a clever graphics design that points out a cross in the middle of NOW – meaning “Christ NOW”.
I like it. It’s meaningful and relevant nowadays.
I know I live in a broken world. I was born selfish and I need to grow up. So now I know of the ways of this world. I know of the evil characters and personalities that shaped this world. God’s intention is to change all that, through me.
My life’s purpose is to serve others, that is my ministry – to use my God given talent. What He shaped me to do, I must be willing to follow God’s directions.
But first I must change my conduct and character. I must ask for God’s presence in me. To keep me in check and in the right direction:
God has given us his Spirit. That’s why we don’t think the same way that the people of this world think.
I don’t want to have the destructive characters of this world. I want God’s that centers around love and patience.
