I want to see transformation. I really do! I become excited by topics like "spiritual transformation," "cultural transformation," even "tran-substantiation." Maybe it's the romantic idea of groups, concepts and ideas becoming more than they are in the natural.... More like what they were made to be. More like their "Cave" like-ness. More like their SUPERnatural potential. More like their Creator.
At least that's the idea.
But transformation may not always be so glorious. Poorly guided transformation can be selfish. It can be fruitless. It can be evil. No transformation is ever benign. Transformation does not inherently promote supernatural potential. But transformation always has the potential to bring out the supernatural.
Thus, transformation is powerfully dangerous.
It's dangerous to promote change and to dabble in the unknown. It's dangerous to inflict a future that always has consequences beyond the initiators awareness.
Transformation comes at a cost. All change comes at a cost. A cost of the transformers and a cost of the transformed... Present and future.
Not just a cost of a status-quo but also a cost of cause and effect. Which may be the biggest reason why I seek to live so intentionally... Because I seek sustainable, wholistic, all encompassing Kingdom transformation.
