This is your life

Switchfoot had it right when they asked "are you who you want to be?" Our staff team has been going through this book together ("Renovation of the Heart"). It's been really challenging my thinking. I've been a believer for 20 years...how much have I really changed? Am I really being formed into more Christ-likeness at the core of who I am? or am I just getting better at restraining from things I don't want to do? Am I just learning how to be patient or am I really becoming a patient person...Am I just learning how to do loving things or am I really becoming a loving person? It's not about what we do (career, ministry, deeds, etc) that matter, but who we are becoming.

Another question...when we talk about God and share our faith, what exactly are we offering people?
