Divine Design: Facilitating Transformation
If you go into any Christian bookstore, you will find multiple shelves of books on discipleship. Each book formulates a plan, a method, and a potential direction for learning the Christian walk. But reliance on a plan does not guarantee spiritual transformation. Continuous and intentional effort to work a plan, applying God's Word to our hearts and minds, is required to transform us to His divine design.
The articles and resources of this issue are provided to help facilitate spiritual transformation in ourselves and in others. For the spiritual transformation we experience is not for ourselves alone; it is to be intently equipped to minister to those around us. Without personal on-going spiritual transformation, we cannot expect to effectively minister to and mentor those in our spheres of influence.
So let's get growing — and help others do the same.
