Keep the Change!

2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

This has always been one of my favorite verses in the word of God; well …they’re all my favorite!

When God changes a life it is a marvelous thing. I have watched people come from the worse kind of life styles and way of living and then God gets a hold of their hearts and turns them completely around, what a wonderful change he has made in so many lives.

If a person will just continue on living for God and NOT go back to their former lifestyles and not allow the peer pressure to keep them from moving forward, they could really be blessed and be a blessing.

So many times, after a person makes that new start they go back and dabble with the worldly things they use to do and they are once again entangled with a sinful lifestyle. They make the mistake of NOT staying around good solid Christians and staying involved with the good things of God and they are many times drawn back.

How many times, when out for a meal, my wife and I would stop at a restaurant and the waitress would do a great job of waiting on our table and making sure we had everything that we needed, so what do you want to do to reward them? You want to give them a TIP!

They bring to you your bill and you take their little black folder with your money tucked away in side and you say “ KEEP THE CHANGE! ” almost every time I do that I think of a message that I preached years ago to those that have given their lives to God “ KEEP THE CHANGE ! “ when God changes you he expects for you to continue on in that Christian walk and never look back.

There is a old song that I sing occasionally “ There’s been a change in me “ I’m not the one that I use to be, OLD things have past away since JESUS set me FREE, there’s been a change, a change in me.

One other verse says, THAT OLD MAN YOU KNEW BEFORE, HE’S GONE FOREVER MORE, HE’S COVERED BY THE BLOOD SHED ON CALVARY … if God did all of that why would you ever want to bring that old person back? My advice, get saved real good, and keep the change!

Praying with you in mind,

Evangelist: Frank Mc Gee~
