It was my eight grade life sciences teachers who said it to me first: Everything changes. Chances are you have different friends today than you had a decade ago. Even if you do still have the same job you had twenty years ago, I am sure there have been many changes in your specific job. Families change. Health changes. Even you change — you are not the same person you were yesterday.

In spite of its relentlessness, for the most part, people resist change.

But the changes we’ve been seeing lately are changes of heart. Changes from feeling casual about one’s relationship with God, to being on fire for God. Changes from engaging in addictive destructive lifestyles, to finding freedom from bondage in Christ. Changes from “doing church” to “being church.”

Gotta love those kinds of changes.
