Blueprint for Change

Years ago a pastor asked me how a church could change from being both denominational and institutional. Having heard that I derive my under-standing on how to do church from Scripture alone, he inquired whether a "theology of change" could be derived. After all, the church had over the centuries developed theologies on virtually all other subjects... God, man, sin, salvation, end times, etc. But IS THERE a theology of CHANGE in the Bible?

This was a great question; one that would not let me rest. God was faithful, and through prayer and patience the answer came. And yet it was there all the time, found from cover to cover in the Word. And so simple, too:

Repent.

When it comes to change, man tends to make so complex what God has made so simple.

...got change?
