KNOWING THE SEASON FOR CHANGE Ecclesiastics 3:1 There is a time and a season for everything under the heavens. The challenge for the Body of Christ has become knowing when the season has come for change. Far too many times the Church continues to do the same thing over and over expecting a different result. At one point the church world was very strict and forth coming. By the 20th Century we become more accepting of different ideas and agendas, which moves us from Spirituality into using our carnal intellect to reason with sin. This has carried us into the 21st century with weak standards that make us more concerned with material gain with cars, houses, etc. It seems we are more accepting of people’s failures without consequences for their actions. This low standard has caused the society to lose respect for the Church and our values because we say one thing and do another regardless of what the Bible says. Well, the season has come for the Church to take back it’s identity and stand up to the challenging things happening in our society today. The season for change is here for the church when marriage and family have become obsolete to the Church community, and Pastors are divorcing with biblical validation. The time for looking the other way has come to an end. The church must stand up for righteousness sake according, to the word of God when Parents become comfortable with their child being, sinful and yet claim to be a believer that must change regardless of your lifestyle, rich or poor God has no respect of person so what goes for the poor man goes for the rich man. We must understand that even weather has season changes and so must the church change. We can’t say there is a Shift and don’t make changes. Like a person working out lift weights. Getting on a elliptical training bike requires more muscle use than walking so. The season has come for the Church to get in the Spiritual Gym and change our methods and move back to holiness and teaching righteous living instead just being accepting of everything.
