In a very real way, Christians who want to be “WorldChangers” have checked out of this world’s system because they value different things. Their hearts don’t belong to things; they belong to God.
They don’t ask what God can do for them; they ask what they can do for God. They are not caught up with clothes, cliches, cars and cool things, but they are turned on to seeking, loving, serving and knowing Him.
Christianity is not a part-time thing for WorldChangers. They don’t go to church because somebody makes them go. They can’t wait to get back and dive back into more of God!
They have found their identity in Him and in His plan for their lives. They have found the reason they were created, and nothing will stop them. WorldChangers know that they are here to change this world with the love of Christ.
WorldChangers are here to make this world a different place. They want less sin in the world when they are finished with it. They want fewer broken hearts when they are gone. They want to see more people going to heaven when they are finished pouring their lives out for this world.
They have found something that demands their all, and they don’t mind giving it for Him. They have found something worth sinking their teeth into, and they are not about to let go.
They have made a discovery so important that it has altered the rest of their lives: You can have all the money, fame, prestige, and toys this world has to offer, but until you have changed the world, you have not accomplished anything.
Do you want to be a WorldChanger?
