The Process of Change

[Nahum]

I've been thinking about the way we decide which things we should fight to change. Normally, our elders, in and out of Christendom, advise us to take a "wait and see" approach. It seems as though their wisdom is that change is not to be fought for, rather that change will simply come to you - if you wait patiently for it.

I see this as a "let someone else fight for it" attitude.

In other words many people see the NEED for change and are even willing to talk about it. But most people are not willing to actually FIGHT for the changes they believe would be beneficial and maybe even necessary.

In my opinion, needed change only occurs when a person, or a group of persons, is willing to put something on the line for it. Real change involves risks. There is no reward without risks.

What would you like to see change in your life? In your ministry? In your job? In your home? In your body?

What would make you decide to take the necessary steps to implement a process of change? What level of dissatisfaction is necessary?

Personal, religious, and political revolutions occur when good people turn a vision into reality. When the hope for something better, more refined, and specifically reflective of a true inner desire, matures into a resolute determination to change a body, a system, and an entire paradigm.

These risk takers, these revolutionaries, are simply called......









leaders.
