We are admonished to change, becoming living sacrifices, renewing our minds from carnal to spiritual, becoming transformed into the image of our Savior.

God deliberately places change in our lives to bring about spiritual growth toward perfection.

Paul describes the Christian life as a process of change: from the old man to the new man. However, we typically resist change because it is difficult.

Change, whether we consider it good or bad, produces stress, and we tend to blame stress for the discouragement or even depression that follows change.

None of the heroes of faith lived a settled life. They experienced continual change to their circumstances, yet they soldiered on and emerged victorious

Repentance and conversion leading to transforming into Christ's image depend on change. Christianity is a force for personal change, leading to universal change.

How we react to trials and change demonstrates what our foundation is. Agitation, anxiety, or pessimism indicate that we are not doing God's sayings in some area.

At Christ's return, people will be engaging in everyday life as if it would go on without change today, tomorrow, and forever. We, however, have been warned.

We have been warned to keep alert, watching for the return of our Savior, not living in careless ease. We should be sobered by the degenerating state of the world.

Repentance is a first step, but it is also ongoing throughout our lives. To become a true Christian, we must repent—and then we must make it a continual practice.

One of the rock solid, dependable characteristics of God for which we can take comfort is His immutability. He cannot lie or become capricious.

Because none of us know when Christ will return, we must ask God for patience for the changes that work to build our future in the Kingdom of God.

Only those close to God will be able to handle the turmoil. No carnal solutions offered by survivalists will ultimately save us from these calamities.

True repentance involves pain, particularly emotional pain. To repent is wrenching to the psyche. It really hurts because it is difficult to do.

Because of the justification that individual sins do not matter much, Israel's collective unity was destroyed. We cannot practice this self-excusing mindset.

Some accept any innovation without calculating the damage it might bring to the culture, while others find it difficult to accept any technological changes.

Alvin Toffler described a phenomenon known as Future Shock, a stressful malady caused by an inability to adjust to rapid change and over-stimulation.

We all change repeatedly throughout the stages of life, as do others, requiring constant adjustment as to how we evaluate and treat others.

The penchant to seek preferred area codes is like the party spirit in Corinth, in which cliques began to champion leaders and look down on other factions.

Many believe that history is progress—that mankind, along with his nature, governments, and technology, is on an inevitable course of advancement.

Adopting a revolutionary stance for the sake of change, variety, or relieving boredom will systematically destroy the faith once delivered.

God instructs us to be living sacrifices. Too many drag this change out over decades, thereby self-limiting the process of sanctification.
