In his latest update<\/a>, LCG\u2019s<\/a> Evangelist Dr. D. Winnail had the following:<\/p>\n

\n
<\/strong>Transforming Faith: <\/strong>How has your faith influenced or changed your life? The Apostle Paul urged New Testament Christians, \u201cdo not be conformed to this world, but be<\/em> transformed<\/em> by the renewing of your mind\u201d (Romans 12:1-2). The word \u201ctransformed\u201d comes from the Greek word metamorphoo<\/em> which means a complete and total change\u2014as when a caterpillar undergoes a metamorphosis into a butterfly! Jesus told potential Christians that they must repent<\/em> (Greek metanao<\/em>) which involves learning to think<\/em> differently<\/em> and turn with sorrow from a past course of action. As we regularly study and meditate on the word of God and ask God to help us change, we will develop the mind of Christ (Philippians 2:5). As we make conscious decisions to think, talk and act as Jesus would\u2014as we crucify the old self\u2014Jesus Christ will be able to live His life in us (Galatians 2:20). This is the transforming<\/em> faith that enables us to come out of the darkness of this age and be the lights to the world that God is looking for in individuals who are called to become members of His family (Ephesians 5:8-10).<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
