Change the world?

Here in Bradford, PA we are in the midst of a week focused on holiness. Many churches have come together to hear this years speaker Rev. Brian Eckhardt, General Superintendent of the Evangelical Church.

I love to see through the eyes of others. And last night was one of those times. Brian said, as Christians we are always trying to change the world. The problem is not the world, the world is the same as it has been throughout time. Sins are still the same, sins have not changed. The problem is the church. We have been empowered with the Holy Spirit but more often than not we do not take the power of the Spirit and do the work of the Lord.

So in a since, the world has not changed sin is still within and the Christian has no change either. The Holy Spirit within but we do nothing different. Oh, Lord forgive us!

Should our prayers be Lord, change the world or Lord, change us?
