A partial DIY blog post - God is a life changer.

On your own read 1 Corinthians 6:9-10....

Now make a list of the things that Paul lists and just put a check mark next to the ones that ever described something you've done. Circle the one's that you've never done / or never would.

Take a good look at the list and ask yourself this question-why are these things in the same list?
I'll be more specific, one word that I'm sure everyone who is actually doing this check was "covetous" or something like that depending on your translation.

I'll answer in a second. Right after the climax of this passage--->

1Corinthians 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

God is a life changer! He can change a heart & spirit of a person that was any of the things in that list....and even things that are not on that list.

What does this have do with missions? God is a life changer whether He's changing the life of a lost sinner in your neighborhood, or in another country. And He's a God who changes orphans into children who are loved.
