Here is a song playing on the radio by 7eventh Time Down called God is On the Move.   I like how the focus on the song is how God is working in the hearts of people causing transformation.  What a reminder that all our good works are from God and not about us working harder or trying more.  God is on the move. Hallelujah! Any time a heart turns from darkness to light Any time temptation comes and someone stands to fight Any time somebody lives to serve and not be served I know, I know, I know, I know God is on the move, on the move Hallelujah God is on the move In many mighty ways God is on the move, on the move Hallelujah God is on the move On the move today Any time in weakness someone falls upon their knees Or dares to speak the truth that sets men free Any time the choice is made to stand upon the Word I know, I know, I know, I know God is on the move, on the move Hallelujah God is on the move In many mighty ways God is on the move, on the move Hallelujah God ...

Over the last week, I have been sharing quotes from Gospel by J.D. Greear.  Here are some more quotes about transformation. The power for transformation comes from the gospel. We are changed not by being told what we need to do for God, but by hearing the news about what God has done for us. Gospel change is the Spirit of God using the story of God to make the beauty of God come alive in our hearts. Awe combined with intimacy is the essence of Christian worship. . .Really seeing those three things, God's awesome size, His untouchable holiness, and His tender mercy, is how we will change too. The way we will stop sinning is not by being told over and over, "Stop sinning!" but by seeing the majesty and glory of God in our hearts. Before Christianity tells you to do anything, it calls you to sit in wonder and amazement at what God has done for you.
