Changes

As I continue to reflect on the last five years of ministry at PBCC, I continue to think of the changes that have occurred in our church. I am not talking about the changes in our worship or the changes in our programs, I am talking about the changes I see in the people of PBCC. I have watched people grow from behind the scene ministries to leading as an elder. I have watched spectators become participants in ministry. I have seen people come into our church and take up a vital role in the life of the church.

Unfortunately, I have also seen people drop out of ministry; maybe they became tired, maybe they lost their desire to serve, maybe they just drifted away.

Stay in a ministry for any length of time and you are going to see people change. The key ifs to help them to change to become more life Christ. For this to happen we must show and practice a determined spirit. For as Paul said...

We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. Colossians 1:28

This is the goal of every minister and it is accomplished by the actions found in 1 Corinthians 15:58...

Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

I hope we are constantly changing for the better at PBCC
