"There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus."
There are a lot of liberal christians in this world. The church today is turning more towards the secular world, and relying more on science to describe a God who is not held down by the laws of nature or culture. Here we see Jesus transfigured. Some christians would say this did not really happen. That everything is figurative. However we know that the Bible is true in everything it says. If this was a metaphor for something else I think Matthew would have written it in a different way. Being a believer in the Scriptures as truth I can understand somewhat the power of Jesus, and ultimately of God. This is amazing! Jesus who was here more than 2000 years ago did this. He was not bound by the laws of pysics, he was truly an amazing God. I was discouraged this week when my dad came back from a presbyterian meeting held in Indiana. A couple big name churches here in Lafayette and West Lafayette left the presbyterian church. They were saying the denomination was turning more and more liberal. Not believing the Bible in its entirety, ordaining homosexual pastors, and the idea of a universal God. What sets us apart from the world our differences with the world, how can we be different when the church is trying to be the same? Lets take the Bible as literal and truly be blessed by the Spirit =]

I had been hearing last spring how some presbyterian churches wanted to split up because of division over the positioning of homosexual pastors. It is sad to hear that they have followed through. How many more divisions do we need to go through to see we are all in this together? Christ be near, we cannot be a body without Him.
