Even though we tend to resist change, especially change that we don’t create, God can often use times of change to get us out of things that are bad, to move us into something good. Even when our life is good, He may use transition to take us into something great. When we see life…

When something radically changes how we “do” life, our culture reacts with phrases marking this moment as the “new normal.” Change is not generally a bad thing, although we often react to it as though it is. However, as God’s people, we should understand that God is ALWAYS at work, changing us, changing our circumstances,…

In this season, we have diligently been focused on the health crisis facing our planet. It has changed the world as we know it, but that doesn’t mean every change that has occurred has been bad. If we take one step back from the pandemic, and look at the world that is emerging, we may…
