It seems we need to learn everything all over again to keep up with constant change. Technology makes that nearly impossible.

Maybe it’s time to remember the creativity of children.

Toddlers not only think out-of-the box; they think as they play inside.

Parents and teachers use simple cardboard boxes as teaching tools. They know that young children will use their imaginations to create castles, playhouses, rocket ships and more.

What about us?

Let’s face it; we’re not kids anymore.   

You’re still creative; imagine a box.

This side up!

You’ve seen the warnings; the sender did not want the box set upside down.

Evil forces have turned our world upside down.

The lost think that wrong is right.

“Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness, (Isaiah 5:20a ESV).”

Deceived, they believe that good is evil; (that up is down).
Have Christ followers turned the world upside down?
“These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also (Acts 17:6 ESV).”

Oh, that we would think out-of-the box and be creative in reaching a lost and dying world…

Apostle Paul was Spirit led for the sake of the gospel.

“To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings (1 Corinthians 9:22-23 ESV).”
