The Christian Reformed Church is founded on unchangeable biblical truths. So why are they called “reformed”? Their tenets require them to “reform” to be relevant to the times. Churches that “reform” are flourishing. Those that do not, that are set in their ways, find themselves losing members.
The basic parts of our business are solid and must not change. Something, though, is different. We find ourselves in different times than just a few years or even months ago. When we use the “proven” approaches and techniques we did last year, the results are different and we are not succeeding, not growing.
We need heavenly wisdom to find new approaches for our neighbors and the strangers around us. James in his Epistle encourages us to pray for wisdom in faith and not doubt. When given wisdom, we apply it without wavering, without doubt, or we will bounce from one technique to another like a wave in the wind never perfecting or proving anything.
The approach – “How has today’s economy impacted your life?” – may kick-start our businesses.
May our Creator and Savior grant us wisdom to see, understand, and use techniques that will reach those around us in these times!
