Coming Attraction: Transformers

I saw the Star Trek movie this week, and I only have one question.

William Shatner? Where were you, dude?

Oh, and a comment.

Uhuru and Spock? I don't think so.

But enough about the main attraction, how about one of my favorite parts of every movie experience... the coming attractions!

This time it was all about the new Transformers flick. I am glad they're making a sequel; perhaps the director will have gained familiarity with the concept of character development.

Still, it got me thinking.

Some of the cars and trucks and bulldozers transform into good guys; some transform into bad guys.

It is what's going on in the deepest part of the machines that determines everything. Same with us, it seems.

In Ezekiel 7:19-20 it talks about how it's possible for us to transform things beautiful into that which is abhorrent.

Doesn't have to be that way. Check out Romans 12:2. It's possible that we can be transformed from the inside out in a way that proves just how good and perfect and pleasing God is.

Is it an unfair question to ask you to ponder which path you're pursuing? Look back 5 years. What do you see?

To encourage you, we'll be hearing from two people on Sunday who will tell us their stories of transformation on the second path. No, they're not angels. Just imperfect people like you and me, still a work in progress, but who are finding hope and joy we all want.

Tired of just hearing all about what God could do? Come and see what He has done and is doing!

It'll bless your socks off--good thing we're an informal bunch, eh?
