WELCOME November 23, 1998 Issue

To Our Readers

William E. Moody

DID YOU EVER get halfway through your day and wish you could start over? What about halfway through the week, or the month, or the year? Sometimes people even get to what they feel is the midpoint of their lives or careers and wish they could go back to the beginning.

The way to overcome any longing to start over is actually to do it—to start fresh from a spiritual basis. It doesn't require some trick that somehow turns back the clock—that transports us back to the beginning of our day, or year, or career. Rather, it takes what Christ Jesus called being "born again." And that's really a spiritual experience. It's putting off old ways of thinking that are fundamentally material, limited, or self-directed, and putting on a whole new way of seeing and understanding life—seeing it all as God sees it. Seeing it pure, whole, always fresh, full of grace and purpose.

In this week's Cover Story, Beulah Roegge tells us that being born again includes an ongoing spiritual renewal and growth, "nourished by the word of God." We discover that being born again in this way reveals the kingdom of God and shows us how our lives eternally express divine "Life without beginning and end."
