There is a Kingdom that has always been, and will always be. It is found in the heart of Jehovah God who has no beginning or end. He lives in eternity, and rules over all that exist. Before time began, before you were born, God had an eternal purpose for your life. The only way to find and fulfill this eternal purpose is through a relationship with The Eternal King, Jesus Christ. This blog is about The Eternal King and His Kingdom. It is about how you can be part of His Kingdom by having a relationship with Him, and fulfilling His eternal purpose for you.

CHANGE (Serving an unchanging God in a changing world.)

Rita’s thoughts

Over and over, month after month, I hear the word “change”.  How many times have we seen changes in our life, how about in our grandparent’s lives.  We have always tried to adapt with the flow of things.  Only a select few still use a horse and buggy.  We fly instead of driving most of the time.  We have iphones and tablets instead of a rotary telephone, etc.  So what about our sharing of the Gospel?  Are we keeping up with the “change”?   We can’t witness like we did 10 years ago.  We can’t sing like we did in the past, or preach, or evangelize, or just about anything.  It is CHANGE.  We are losing a whole generation because a lot of us are too headstrong about “what we did 10 years ago worked; so it should work today”.  NOT! 

Thousands of people will not step foot in a church.  You can have the best Christian rock band in the country at your church and still not bring them in.   People today want action.  They want the truth, and they want it on their territory.  They want to feel something.  “Church” doesn’t have to be in a building.  There are homes opening up and inviting people in just to share Jesus.  Groups are being formed at car races, rodeos, coffee houses, golf courses, etc.  We need to go where the people are and not expect the people to come to us (Jesus did this).  They need to feel Jesus is real and not just a story book character.  They need to feel the power of prayer and see the miracles God can perform.  Pray joy into the place and let them feel laughter like they have never felt before.  It can set them free from their worries and cares. 

It is time to step out in faith and CHANGE.  We can’t let this generation slip by us. We need to be willing to CHANGE.  Our music, our clothes, our church services, our preaching, our evangelism, everything has to change. Paul said, “I’ve become all things to all men so that by any means I might save some.1” Don’t get stuck in the rut of the past.  Get out of your box and move on with God’s Spirit.  That is the only way you can be the salt and light to this world that God wants you to be. 

Question:  Are you willing to CHANGE so you can reach the people around you for Jesus?
