Let me say, we live in a world where it seems that everyday things are changing. All you have to do is just take a look at technology and enough can be said.
You know, people always ask me, "if you could have lived in any era in history, which one would it be?" You know what my response is? "It would be here, and now!!!" I love the fact that God has me right here, right now.
People will ask, aren't you afraid for your kids? Of Course I am afraid for my kids! What father wouldn't be. But, in the fast pace world where everyone is looking for the next best thing, I am so thankful that I serve a God that "NEVER CHANGES!!!" "He is the same yesterday, today and forever."
I am also thankful that He allows me to serve in this generation of change. See change is not a bad thing. The bible tells us that David, served God in his generation, and then he died. So I have to believe that David used the methods of the time, to deliver the never changing message of Jesus.
I spent an hour today having a great conversation with a former student at LifeBridge, it was Jody Oliver. He has a band that is doing some really cool things. And as I was talking and listening, the Lord revealed some really awesome things to me in regards to the Student Ministry at LifeBridge.
We have always said and believe that the methods in which we reach people must always change, but the message we proclaim must never change. People, we have the hope of the world! let's just learn to do it in a way that they can understand. So be looking for some really cool and awesome things to be taking place in the Student Ministry.
I'm glad too that God never changes - I do though, and often. As much as I try to be consistent I find myself tripping over some standard I have put in front of myself. Of course God has His own standards and when I move towards Him I feel satisfied. My own standards though are usually set too high so I can beat myself up when I fail and then I can rest easy in my defeat, kinda like I expected it. I don't think God has levels for us to achieve, only a closer walk near to Him, in step with Him, hearing His breathing, maybe even a heartbeat every now and then. Draw close to the Lord bloggers, He is waiting with open arms and has so much to share. He knows us, so intimately it can be scary - but the truth of will be comforting, guaranteed!
