"It's Morphing Time"

Morphoo means - "the inward and real formation of the essential nature of a person"

Morphing Requires Time and Perspective Galatians 4:19 (NIV) My dear children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you…

Morphing Requires Time and Perspective You see we are to be transformed (metamorphoo) by the renewing of our minds and we are to be conformed (summorphizo) to the image of his son (Jesus).

Morphing Requires Time and Perspective Romans 12:2 (NIV) Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Morphing Requires Time and Perspective Romans 8:29 (NIV) …God also predestined us to be conformed to the image of his Son…

Morphing Requires Change When asked about the law Jesus' reply was pretty simple… "love God, Love People!"

Morphing Requires Change 1 Corinthians 13:1–3 (NIV) If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge,

Morphing Requires Change …and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Morphing Requires Change AM I SPIRITUALLY AUTHENTIC? Matthew 23:25 (NIV) Woe to you…You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self- indulgence.

Morphing Requires Change AM I BECOMING JUDGMENTAL OR EXCLUSIVE OR PROUD? Matthew 23:6 (NIV) …they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues.

Morphing Requires Change AM I BECOMING MORE APPROACHABLE OR LESS? Matthew 23:7 (NIV) …they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.

Morphing Requires Change AM I GROWING WEARY OF PURSUING SPIRITUAL TRUTH? Matthew 23:4 (NIV) They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders…

Morphing Requires Change AM I MEASURING MY SPIRITUAL LIFE IN SUPERFICIAL WAYS? Matthew 23:24 (NIV) You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.

Morphing Requires Training, not Trying! 1 Corinthians 9:25 (NIV) Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 1 Timothy 4:7 (NIV) …train yourself to be godly.

Morphing Requires Training, not Trying! Following Jesus simply means learning from him how to arrange my life around activities that enable me to live in the fruit of the Spirit.
