What's the big diff?

SO I had a nice chat with my buddy Charlie last night. He's this incredible guy with a flare for connecting people with other people, and constantly looking for opportunities to hang out with teens and youth, and get them active in social justice opportunities. Thing is, He's not saved. Now, you're wondering, what's the difference between someone who's saved and someone who's not saved? Really, now. What's the difference? Some people might say not a whole lot, and that I think is very telling on the state of the Church today.
If we look at what was going on with the Early Church (a group of ragtag Jewish fishermen), we see blind people seeing, deaf people hearing, dead people walking (anyone see that movie? Dead Man Walking? it's excellent- but I digress), religious people raging, people dying brutal deaths all the while praying for the forgiveness of their murderers staring them in the face. Where did all the power go?
Where is God moving today? Where are the used-to-be-blind people? Where are the used-to-be-deaf people? There are plenty testimonies to God's saving power, but for some reason most of them are in areas of the world where there is either extreme poverty, extreme disease, or extreme persecution.
When Danielle came back from Africa, she told us of a poll they were taking of the community to assess their needs. The survey question was, "What do you hope for this community?" The resounding response was, "that Jesus comes back." All their hope rested on Jesus' return, because they knew that that was the only permanent solution they had. They didn't rest their hopes on a shipment of fresh water that would last a month, or a certain type of vaccine that would last a year, but all their hope rested on the only thing that would last forever...Jesus.
We live in a world of quick fixes where we don't have to wait for much....but when it comes down to it, where does your hope come from? Does your hope come from some little pill that can only treat symptoms, or some investment that could crash unexpectedly, or does your hope come from God, the Creator Preserver and Governor of the universe?
In 1 Corinthians 3, Paul tells the believers they have not moved on in their faith, and are still depending on milk rather than solid spiritual food. He calls them "worldly" and scolds them for acting "like mere men". We claim to have Christ dwelling in us, do we not? God, who created the whole universe, dwells in you if you believe it. Do you believe it? Then how do you walk it? What makes a saved person different from an unsaved person? Your thoughts...
