As the amazing crew continues to remove and tear down the remnants of Ahop's future home, it reminds me of the Spiritual renovations that are often necessary in the heart of the believer.  Of course we want to be brand new.  We all love the word "upgrade."  Whether it be a new phone, a bigger television, or a new vehicle, we all want the latest and the greatest.  When it comes to becoming spiritually renewed we often have to remove the old.  We have to remove our old way of thinking, we have to remove old habits, occasionally we have to move on from old relationships.  Christ promises new identity in him, and there is no upgrade that can match that.  As you remember Ahop's endeavor in your times of prayer consider what God is trying to renovate in your own life.  He has tremendous destiny in store for our church and for its people, let's keep our eyes on him and he will bring us to the land he has promised.
