"Transformed...from glory to glory...by the Spirit of the Lord." 2 Corinthians 3:18 NKJV
Beginning 2007, the REVEAL research project surveyed the members of more than a thousand churches. They wanted to determine the percentage of churchgoers who are actually propelled by their faith to love God and love others with their whole hearts. Guess how many met these qualifications? Eleven percent! Nearly nine out of ten believers did not make the grade. Think about it this way: If a school graduated only eleven percent of its students, if a hospital healed only eleven percent of its patients, if a sports team won only eleven percent of its games, if a home builder completed only eleven percent of his projects, wouldn't changes be made? About 2.2. billion people on our planet call themselves Christians. That's approximately one-fourth of the world's population. If the survey is any indication, about two billion of those Christians are chugging along on a fraction of their horsepower. What would happen if they got a tune-up or decided to step up or rise up? How much joy would be unleashed? How much wisdom would be shared? How many marriages would be saved? How many wars would be prevented? How much hunger would be eliminated? What would it take for you to be part of the eleven percent—more compassion, more conviction, more courage? What attitudes would you need to discontinue—greed, guilt, negativity, a critical spirit? Here's the good news: You can. With God's help, you can close the gap between the person you re and the person you want it to be. You can be "transformed...from glory to glory."
