.@NovaRockafeller It's Made In Gold Monday! For the thirteenth installment of MIGM on the cover of “Iconic”, is a totally epic portraitI photographed of professional inline skater Ray Mendez crushing it on the very ramp. This portrait is very special to me. I captured it what I was on tour as the official photographer for the NISS tour AND it was on the cover of Global Skate Magazine, an internationally published inline skate magazine. I have the autographed copy in my vault at EPHQ. Iconic is a new self-published magazine I’m featuring powerful, provocative, eternal and luscious photography. And I chose an epic anthem to go with today’s message too, “Made in Gold” by Nova Rockafeller - Https://youtube.com/watch?v=…. I LOVE IT! Time to go after your dreams and goals. You're not getting any younger; if you don't go after your dreams, someone else will make you go after theirs. #MIGM #BeSomebody #DreamInColour #NovaRockafeller #success #empower #portraitphotographer #LosAngeles #inlineskating #RayMendez #NISS #MilitaryDiscount #celebrityphotographer #destinationphotographer #destinationweddingphotographer – at Minneapolis, MN

Becoming Like Christ Scripture tells us that we who belong to Christ are now ambassadors for Christ. As ambassadors, we are tasked with two things: the mission of God and the character of Jesus. The goal this passage sets out for us sounds pretty simple: to become more and more like Jesus in the way that we act, think, and feel, and to also accomplish the purposes that God has for our life. We are tasked to accomplish the work of God in the way He wants it done, following the "word of truth," or the Bible. As Christians, we should strive to be like Christ. We want to have the same mind and attitude that He had. Paul’s encouragement to Timothy in 2 Timothy 2:15 reinforces that mindset about our character. In the midst of a culture that is grumbling and fighting, act like Jesus. In this letter, Paul tells Timothy not to be ashamed of his past, but instead to let his past be a testament to how Jesus has changed his life. Your past is part of your story, and it’s not something to be ashamed of. It’s a way that you can show others how Jesus changed your life. The best way that we can continue to be transformed by Jesus is to continually seek His truth in Scripture. As we engage with Scripture and the Holy Spirit, our mind, heart, and hands are changed to be more like Christ. How can you be more like Christ today? Think of a few small steps you can take to begin to shift your thinking and action towards the mission of God or the character of Christ. Ask God for His help as you seek to follow Him daily.

Your origin may explain you. It does not have to define you. In Christ, identity is received from God—not inherited from circumstance. “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God… Which were born, not of blood… but of God.” — John 1:12–13, KJV

I struggle with this every day. King David made some great decisions, but he also made some terrible ones. During his reign, David chose to abuse his power by sleeping with the wife of one of his military leaders, and then arranging for him to be pushed to the front lines of battle—where he was killed. For someone who was considered “a man after God’s own heart,” David really messed up.   In 2 Samuel 12:13, we see David confess his sin against the Lord and in Psalm 51, we see his prayer to be made new:   “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.” Psalm 51:10 ESV   David failed, but God redeems. God restores. David still had to face the consequences of his decisions, but in that journey, God met him there.   If you want to be made new by God but believe that your past is too messed up, you can follow the path David showed us—confess, repent, and ask God to make you new. You can even use David’s exact words as you pray: “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.”   When we seek God, we realize that He’s already been seeking us.    God is faithful. He loves you. He can make your heart clean. In Him, you can become a new creation.
