FLIP THIS HOUSE: TRANSFORMED

Scripture: Romans 12:1-2 NIV

I have had the opportunity over the last 5 years to do some property flipping. What is property flipping properties? Well, if you have watched the cable shows like “Flip This House” and “Flip That House” you know that property flipping is where an investor and/or a contractor will buy a house in disrepair, renovate the property, and then sell it for a profit.

One of the most exciting parts of property flipping is seeing the end product. It is amazing to see the Transformation that takes place in a home that was left destitude and abondoned turn into a beautiful home that now has a lot of value. When I watch these house flipping shows it is interesting to watch the reaction of the people who live in the neighborhood as this house goes through this tremendous transformation not just on the inside but also on the outside.

The amazing thing is that time and time again God has done the same with individuals. He changes us. He takes us from a state of destitution and abandonment, and turns us into something beautiful and with value. And just like watching the response of the people in Flip That House, it is amazing to hear the stories of the people around us who see the transformation take place.
