Spiritual Transformation is not a great mystery. The Apostle Paul challenged believers in Rome (Rom. 12:1,2) to be transformed. According to Dallas Willard we need a clear Vision of transformation, a focused Intention to be transformed and a Method to follow (VIM). This blog focuses more on the "Method" than either of the other two parts. I believe there are millions of Christians that want their lives to be a reflection of Jesus (Vision) and millions who are motivated (Intention), but far too few that know the how of transformation (Method). It is my intention to provide the reader a path to follow and ideas and thoughts to weigh. There are two things that are critical to understand 1) there is no "one" method, we really do learn from God and one another and this is a place to share what we are learning and 2) real transformation is a Grace operation. In fact, those who are becoming more and more like Jesus must breathe in Grace, it is the power given to become more like Jesus.
Welcome to the journey!
Good start Phil. Looking forward to more...
