It's Not What You've Been...

I caught one lesson from the always excellent Jim Flemming over the weekend at Church Street. He always brings it (this was the 12th year in a row that our church has had him back for a lecture series) but there was one thought he shared that stood out the most to me.

He said it's not about what you've been (i.e. a liar, a thief, an adulterer, an addict, etc.) but rather through Jesus Christ what you can become.

You can become forgiven. You can become joyful. You can become the person God created you to be.

I like the sound of that.
