The IN Crowd! (part 1 of 10)

It seems we all have a desire to fit in. We don't want to be viewed as out of place or weird. To be a part of the "IN CROWD" has to do with image. Are we concerned with how others perceive us? Are our tastes in clothing and lifestyle dictated by what reflects being numbered among the "IN CROWD"?

Being a part of the "IN CROWD" is fine, but only as long as that CROWD IS IN THE RIGHT PLACE. The "IN CROWD" to be a part of is those who are IN CHRIST! Over the next few days meditate with me on this significance.

Some people are looking to find or create a new look. They may make changes and ask, "What do you think of the new me?" IN CHRIST the "new me" becomes a reality.

Paul stated. . .
"(17) Therefore, if anyone is IN CHRIST, he is A NEW CREATION. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." ( 2 Corinthians 5:17 ESV)

IN CHRIST there is a renewal that takes place within and brings changes without. IN CHRIST the NEW YOU is inside and out. It is to be a complete change; a transformation that carries on through life and is ultimately completed in eternity. (note Colossians 1:28)

Have a great day PRAISING GOD FOR THE NEW YOU!
Carl
