"In with the New" John 15:5-8 & Romans 12:2 "Self-help" and "self-improvement" are not usual goals for people. On the one hand that should be encouraging—after all, how could we criticize anyone who wants to improve? We shouldn't. But who will guide us in that endeavor and what will it look like? Those are two of the questions that come into play as we strive toward "a life transforming walk with Jesus."
