Everlasting Felicity explores
Managing change and culture in the context of Christian Ministry
Changing Hearts - Changing the Church
"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect."
Romans 12:2
The Change Imperative
Change is a gospel imperative. The word we often translate as repentance from the Greek is metanoia, meaning to change the mind, or heart (which is closer to our idiom). So as individuals we are called to continual change in our thinking and in our hearts.
The church, as the body of Christ, also needs to seek continual renewal and change in order to respond to the needs of those it serves.
The page name, Everlasting Felicity, comes from Psalm 21, verse 6: "You have given (the king) everlasting felicity; and made him glad with the joy of your presence." This verse captures the joy that comes from simply being aware of God's presence in the world and in every aspect of our daily living.
