Profound words from Pastor Curt yesterday, “We become whatever we are committed to!” What are you committed to? No one becomes a professional golfer overnight. No one becomes a skilled woodworker because they cut a 2×4 in half. No one becomes a player in the NHL because they donned a pair of ice skates. No one becomes a concert pianist because they can play chopsticks. No one becomes skilled at anything until they choose to make a commitment and put in the hard work and hours in their field of choice. And no one will become the Christian God wants them to be without the commitment and work that it takes. Sitting in a pew every Sunday doesn’t make you a Christian. Accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior and striving to become more like Him does! When the world looks at us, we want them to see Jesus. Someone that has a servant’s heart, that focuses on others instead of self, not a self righteous Bible thumper! We need to be “putting off the old man which grows corrupt with deceitful lusts” and be “putting on the new man which was created according to God, in righteousness and holiness.” We’re not going to be nor are we expected to be perfect, but we should be moving in that direction. We each need to make our own personal commitment to change, to grow, to become what He wants us to be, and He wants us all to be more like Him!
