“By opening our lives to God in Christ, we become new creatures. This experience, which Jesus spoke of as the new birth, is essential if we are to be transformed nonconformists … Only through an inner spiritual transformation do we gain the strength to fight vigorously the evils of the world in a humble and loving spirit.”
Martin Luther King Jr.
Can I hear an "Amen!"? This is the only long lasting way to impact the world, that is to see it as God does. If this is possible, it is only by utter transformation which must begin with each of us individually. This inner transformation is what made him a great man. It wasn't his notable political action or his love of family that was the engine behind all he accomplished but his commitment to living as a Christ follower in an evil stained world.
