From time to time, dramatic stories of rescue capture the attention of the world.  A year and a half ago, thirty-three miners were trapped nearly a mile underground at the Copiapo mine in the country of Chile.  After seventeen days of test drilling, it was discovered that all thirty- three were alive.  Tremendous resources were marshaled to free them.  Sixty-nine days after the mine’s collapse, the rescue was successful, and all thirty-three men were pulled alive from what had originally been assumed to be their tomb.  A great escape was accomplished.  A year after this rescue, news reporters went to check on the status of these men, and found that some of them actually returned to mining.  How can this be?  Who would willingly return to such hazards after so much had been done for their escape?  In out text for Sunday morning, Scripture reminds us that we have also been rescued.  At great cost we have “escaped the corruptio...

The year 2012 is now three weeks old. If you made any resolutions for this new year, how are you doing with the changes? Perhaps you are having tremendous success. Perhaps you are struggling. Perhaps you have already given up. Whatever your experience, you realize that change requires more than just good intentions. Intentions need to be supported if they are going to be realized. The life of a Christian is a life of radical transformation. There is no more profound change than what happens in someone who was spiritually dead when they become spiritually alive. While we know this to be true, we also know that living according to this change has to be supported. If change is not supported, the natural tendency is to return to old patterns and habits.
