The revolution of God

The revolution of God 

Do not conform to the present world, but be transformed by the renewal of the intelligence in order to discern what is the will of God, which is good, pleasant and perfect. Romans 12.2

The history of mankind is a series of revolutions. They have occurred not only in the political field, but also in the cultural, economic and social fields. The word "revolution" implies the idea of ​​profound transformation, of questioning certain values.

Our age is one of contestation, of questioning society itself. It is not our role to take sides.

What we are emphasizing is that there is a revolution willed by God. She is the real revolution. It concerns individuals - all individuals. It concerns us personally. The real revolution has a requirement : “I must change !" What needs to change is not our religious views or the form of worship we give to God, but our hearts.

To do this, you must first see clearly in yourself. It is necessary, to use an expression of Jesus, to become again like a little child. It is not about giving up thinking or putting aside our intelligence, but recognizing our limitations and accepting that God has the right to tell us what he thinks of us.

Let us allow ourselves to be transformed by the Holy Spirit : we will see everything differently and we will also live a new life worth living.
