We have been changing some processes and ministries around at Barefoot Church. We are always doing this... it is part of our culture at Barefoot.
Whenever we change things in our home, workplace, or relationships, we will get a little push back from others. Change makes things a little uncomfortable for all of us, but I have found that change is one of the greatest ways to grow people and get to the next level in our lives.
I was praying about this last Friday morning while I was running on the beach. Here are a few things that came to my mind about change. It was as the Lord was impressing upon my heart... "Push through the push back" because:
Change is great… It propels the vision forward.
Change is great... It keeps everyone alert.
Change is great... It allows others opportunity.
Change is great... It keeps everything fresh.
Change is great... It allows growth, strength and builds courage.
Change is great... Don't be afraid to change.
These are a few thoughts about change... It seems hard, but change is good for all of us. Change makes us think and change will refocuses us on why we do what we do. Is God leading you to change something today?

Change is a sign of life. The only things on the planet that don't change are inanimate things like rocks. They simply stand firm as the environment wears them down. It's good to be alive!
I agreee,Without change we become stagnant in our enviroment.The world changes at a very fast pace,and if we can't keep up with change,we will not be able to better ourselves,or move forward.As you said in your sermon,people are afraid to breakaway.They are to comfortable in their lives and don't feel worthy to succeed.People are afraid to stand out,but with a little push,they can realize their true potentional with out fear.
