The root word of contemporary is temporary. Temporary is defined as “lasting for a limited time” according to Merriam-Webster.
I’m weird. Why? Because, I love change. In fact, I thrive on change. Sure, too much change is bad, but so is too little. It’s got to be “Just right” as Goldie Locks would say.
Since I love change I don’t understand why people hate it so much. Change is going to happen. We should be used to it, right?
As a pastor, I’m always evaluating whether change is needed. If it doesn’t, then no changes are made. If it does, then change is on the way.
My point: Churches should be constantly evaluating change. A good policy would be to change what’s necessary, keep what’s not, and always keep evaluating everything.
