Reformation ends not in contemplation, but in action.

Definition of Reformation

The act of reforming, or the state of being reformed; change from worse to better; correction or amendment of life, manners, or of anything vicious or corrupt; as, the reformation of manners; reformation of the age; reformation of abuses.

Reformation and Renovation.

Reformation to most is a period of Christian history where Catholicism
clashed with the Reformers, Calvin, Knox, Luther, Zwingli and others.
However, it was more than an historical event. For it also can become
a personal work in our own lives. When we choose by our actions to allow
God to change and cleanse in a wonderfully pure and personal way our
every day living.

This can only be accomplished by a personal acknowledgment of the need
for change, but the actual reforming doesn't occur till we release
ourselves to the work of the Holy Spirit. Then do what we find is
necessary to bring about the positive changes necessary in our lives
to radically alter our form of religion in application. Not allowing it
to just become a statement of faith upon a poster board in my
life, but a living breathing expression of who Jesus Christ is in my
personal life.

This type of reformation can offer God the the opportunity to renovate
your spiritual house, without having to tear it all down. The only problem
is, " How long are you going to put it off ? " Its my prayer you will
give God the opportunity to reform your world and give him the chance
to show you the blueprint of a new YOU. Which can see the Holy Spirit
make you into that house built upon the rock, whose builder and maker
is God.
