Reasons to Embrace Change

Friday, January 4th, 2008

Mike George reflects on change in ministry and lists the following reasons to embrace change:

  1. Change keeps us alert
  2. Change causes us to continue to trust in God and not in “our own understanding”
  3. Change stretches us
  4. Change gets us out of our comfort zone
  5. Change, or the possibility of change, should cause us to plan ahead
  6. Change can be God’s way of helping us not settle for the status quo
  7. Change is a good challenge for our gifts and leadership skills.
