Change

Thanks to this last Mexicali trip, I expanded my memory bank, but more importantly, I learned a valuable life lesson.
Unlike on other nights, on the last night, I gave an effort to stay up while the speaker talked to the congregation. He talked about Matthew 7:22 and how unless you know Jesus, it doesn't matter how many demons you have casted out in his name. The result is always the same. I used to think that "head knowledge" was everything. All ihad to do was know what not to do and believe in Jesus, and that would give me a ticket straight to heaven. However, the speaker told us that knowledge means nothing if we do not use it for God's people. If I become transformed, shouldn't I therefore transform others? It makes sense right? In the past it didn't. I do not learn to show God how smart I am or to answer all the questions in bible study, but to use it to spread God's love and knowledge. If everyone did this, wouldn't our world be so much better?
