The Season is Changing!

  We are now in the process of change; the church is poised to undergo some dramatic changes. While we understand that there are some real moves of God occurring in different places around the world, the church as a whole has reached a plateau and in order to go on to the next level God has in store for the church, change is inevitable. Change is not easy as it requires faith and an element of risk . What worked over the last decade will not work in the next decade. Large portions of the church today has become performance oriented, success oriented  ; often the church service is reduced to the level of entertaining in its desire to become user friendly lowering everything to the lowest common denominator.

This thankfulness also extends to areas beyond our understanding – in everything give thanks (1 Thessalonians 5:18).  There are two roads in growing older each year: the road of complaining and depression or the road of thankfulness and cheer. b. How much more of God have we grown to know? Eternal life is knowing God (John 17:3). This growth is propelled by a desire to know Him and to seek Him. Unfortunately, in this temporal world it requires a quality decision to seek God which involves an element of diligen...
