Forty-Day Immersion: Day 16

The world is unprincipled. It's dog-eat-dog out there! The world doesn't fight fair. But we don't live or fight our battles that way - never have and never will. 10:4 The tools of our trade aren't for marketing or manipulation, but they are for demolishing that entire massively corrupt culture. 10:5 We use our powerful God-tools for smashing warped philosophies, tearing down barriers erected against the truth of God, fitting every loose thought and emotion and impulse into the structure of life shaped by Christ. 10:6 Our tools are ready at hand for clearing the ground of every obstruction and building lives of obedience into maturity. 2 Corinthians 10:3-6, The Message

Day 16

What if

Over the next 30 days, I

Made a fresh commitment to living a principled life at a higher level than ever before?

Refused to fight even one battle the way the world fights?

Made a directed effort to building where something – or someone – was torn down?

Became more devoted to Christ’s principles, philosophy and truth, in at least one particular area of my life?

Laid bare all of my current understanding in intellect, emotion and will of what it means to have a life shaped by Christ, and offered it all to Him for complete renovation?

Reacquainted myself with the powerful God tools at my disposal, and tried them out in ways I never had before?

What if 30 days later I was so different than I am now – and those 30 days built on all the rest of my days, together?

What if several of us did it?

What if many of us did it?

What if . . . ?
