Changing the Culture ~ A Dangerous Prayer

Ray Pritchard
Last march a very wise friend summed up the truth this way: "Everyone wants progress. No one wants change." That one statement summarizes the problem facing almost every church in America. We all want progress. No one wants change. We all say we want to make progress in reaching the world, but no one wants things to change.

Change propels us out of our comfort zone.Change forces us out of our ruts.Change destabilizes our routine.Change challenges our priorities.Change disrupts our plans.Change causes us to ask new questions and seek new answers to old questions.Change introduces us to whole new set of problems.Change opens the door to exciting opportunities.Change stretches us in ways we don't want to be stretched.Change upsets the apple cart.Change kicks us out of the recliner.Change rearranges our daily schedule===>Click headline to access complete text . . .
