Thought of the Day !!

You must display a new nature because you are a new person, created in God's likeness -- righteous, holy, and true.
Ephesians 4:24 (NLT)

When a United Methodist pastor is ordained, he or she will be asked this question by the bishop. "Are you going on towards perfection." And the correct answer should be yes for all clergy and laity alike. This question is one that John Wesley would ask of his preachers because he wanted to know if they were seeking to become perfect in love of God and neighbor.

When we accept Christ into our lives, we change...but not all at once. It takes time for this new nature that Paul talks about to mature and become complete. Are you striving towards perfection in love? If so, you are ever becoming righteous, holy and true.

In the love of Christ,
