transformation is slow
There's a lot of talk about discipleship going on in the church world, and rightfully so. The Western church has traditionally done a terrible job of discipling new followers of Christ.
It's got to be more than an information transfer, though it is important to know beliefs about God. An inner transformation has to take place, and actions, character, and thoughts have to align with God.
It's not fast; it's a process. And that doesn't bode well for our "microwave" culture.
But what might happen if we were ok with God's process of change. No matter how fast or how slow, we were just in tune with God. Might it change the course of Christ's influence on society? Might it build stronger families who in turn build even stronger ones? Might it see a hopeless world see the hope of the world for a change. What would happen?
Wherever you're at, move forward in God, be open to His voice, and have the courage to live your life and ministry differently.
