Cultural change always begins with yourself….unless you or I change as Christians, we will never impact the cultural chaos.  Instead of adjusting the bible to our lives, we must adjust our lives to the bible.  When we do that, God works in and through us to impact our society.  Because when we live as God has called us to live, we stand out.  To deal with change in Ephesus, the Apostle Paul encourages Timothy to be very selective about the church leaders, to not just fill as position because its vacant, but to train

Jesus is often seen as “meek and mild” as He spoke His words of love, grace, and salvation to the world.  But Jesus is also a “disruptor” as he confronts sin and religion….whether it was at the time He ministered with the merchandisers at the synagogue…..or today when He
