Renovation 7

 I wonder how much of my thought life has been on automatic pilot, cruising through the world’s chaos, consuming so much information without a filter. I’m ready-learning the importance tk have a filter, screening what I listen to and look at. Information can have a slant toward an opinion and I assume that the info is fact based. I also assume that if an article has Christianeese words, it must be true. I’m slowly realizing that many sources of information are only building an illusion of a worldly kingdom. I need to be on guard to filter out but also soak in God eternal purposes. 

“Genuine transformation of the whole person into the goodness and power seen in Jesus and his “Abba” Father—the only transformation adequate to the human self—remains the necessary goal of human life. But it lies beyond the reach of programs of inner transformation that draw merely on the human spirit—even when the human spirit is itself treated as ultimately divine.” - Dallas Willard, Renovation of the Heart: Putting On the Character of Christ
