Willy Reimer’s Blog

I have renamed this blog “Transformational” because Jesus invites into the reality of the Kingdom of God which transforms us and our world.  We’re not here to simply know about Jesus or to pursue self-fulfillment or self-realization–we are here to understand and experience Jesus’ reality in our lives and our world.  To be transformed and to be agents of transformation.  The world as we see it is not the real world (think Matrix).  We’ve bought a lie when we think that God is here simply to take what we have and pull the bad parts out.  That is far to small a vision of reality.  Jesus invites us into a new reality, a reality in which the reign and rule of Christ permeates our lives, our world-view, our thinking so thoroughly that we are continually transformed into what God created us to be and we are transformers who live out Jesus’ kingdom reality.  A reality that is counter-intuitive, counter-cultural, subversive, love driven, truth permeated, power-filled, self-aware, servant oriented and justice focused–to name a few characteristics.  It is at the heart transformational.  It is bringing Jesus’ reality into our pseudo-reality.  It is the essence of hope, the power of love, the security of truth, the joy of sacrifice.  It is life transforming, community altering and life giving.  Transformational
