Hard Truths

Geography does not change a person. No matter how much an environment predisposes an individual to an action, removing the person from that place will not alter who they really are. A crack addict does not kick his habit just by moving across the country; he takes it with him. A sinner in the company of saints does not get saved by osmosis. A truly changed life comes from within, where the Spirit of God cleanses and transforms us.

My flesh is just as it was when I stepped out of my front door on January 4, 2006. I am no different now than I was then. Wisconsin hasn’t changed me, Systematic Theology II hasn’t changed me, Grace Baptist Church hasn’t changed me, Northland hasn’t changed me. Only God changes me.

When?
