TRANSFORMERS

It was 1984 and my oldest son, Chris, was six years old at the time. He became mesmerized by a new cartoon, imported from Japan, called, “Transformers.” The show began with, “Transformers, more than meets the eye! Transformers, robots in disguise.” In the show, the Transformers were giant robots from space that looked like cars, trucks or planes, but then would transform into Autobots to fight the evil Decepticons that were trying to take over the earth.

But, that’s kid’s stuff. What I am talking about this week is the serious business of what you are on the inside, as a Christian, transforming you, so that becomes the expression of your life on the outside. Consider these words from the pen of the Apostle Paul, “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what it that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” (Romans 12:2)

Something or someone is going to shape your life, and Paul tells us in this text that we will either be conformed to the world or transformed by the Word. The choice is ours. How can we be transformed? Stay tuned for tomorrow’s episode of Transformers!
