So many times in Christian history the church has seen its role to be, resistors to all change. Most of us like things the way they are without disturbing our routines, and especially our way of thinking. For some, holiness has been seen as THE way to fight off change. When this happens the idea of holiness is corrupted. Holiness is relational. It is the way we relate in love to God, humans and human need. It is not the way we stave off change but the way we stay totally committed to God in the midst of change.
Lord, You are Holy. Teach us how to be holy in an age of changing technologies, societal trends, and cultural decay. Father, You showed us Your holiness in Christ Himself. We want to be like Him so we will be like You. Oh, Spirit of the Son and of the Father, guide us through it all.
