The Body of Christ has seen an explosion in good Bible teaching over the last generation or so. We are very informed by teachers.
Proverbs 10:14 tells us,
"Wise people store up knowledge,
But the mouth of the foolish is near destruction."
But the mouth of the foolish is near destruction."
We are also a conformed people. Sociologists tell us that cultures and sub-cultures develop descriptors that make make us feel a part. Generations set their boundaries mainly by music, slang, hair and clothing styles. Television shows, media personalities, and performers show-and-tell us what's in and what isn't. In the Christian world, our preachers help define our social norms.
It's not a bad thing to conform. It just that our walk and identity with Christ must be deeper than that.
Where teachers inform us and preachers conform us, God TRANSFORMS us.
We need information. We need to feel like we belong to something bigger than we are. But, most of all, we need to be in fellowship with Our Heavenly Father in order to be transformed into the image of His Son.
2 Corinthians 3:18:
Unveil your face by presenting yourself to Him. And let the transformation begin!

"But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord."
Unveil your face by presenting yourself to Him. And let the transformation begin!
