You Must Change

I'm a pastor in an evangelical denomination. That means that my denomination has stated that it wants to be about reaching people who are from God and helping them to enter into a relationship with him.

I love that.

I'm a pastor in a missional denomination. That means that my denomination has stated that it wants to intentionally move towards being where people who are from God live.

I love that.

To live out these things though, we have to change. If we want people who have never darkened the door of a congregation's building to come to know Christ, then we have to change. We have to do things differently. We have to ask ourselves really hard questions about why we do what we do, how we do what we do, and where we do what we do.

But, we don't. Because we probably won't like the answers. The answers will cause us to change.

If there is one thing that most of us don't want to do, it is change.

The thing is, if you want to take new ground you have to change. Whether its business, missions, or sports ball, change is what is required to get to the next level.

What do you think needs to change for you to grow? For your church to reach the people it says it wants to? For your business to achieve the dreams you have? What needs to change?
