Self-help books load up library and bookstore shelves. Instagram and other social media are filled with so called influencers offering advice on how to make your life more productive and rewarding. Early and late night television offer paid commercial programs that promise a beautiful life.
However, II Corinthians 3:18 says, “And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed in the same image from one degree of glory to another.

As this transformation progresses over time we become more and more like our Savior Jesus Christ.
