November 01 of Abiding in ChristChange is the key to real spiritual growth Learn to welcome change like a dry field welcomes the rain. A religious bigot fears change because he believes he has apprehended and change threatens his confidence in his pathetic belief system and he sees all change as the work of the devil. Eventually, the bigot will become violent in his opposition to change even to the point of destroying things that are good. Faith, true faith, is the willingness to change one's own self to be in agreement with God's will. This requires us to re-examine ourselves daily and allowing Jesus Christ to change our lives and to purify us even as He is pure. Don't worship your belief system, worship God, who is beyond all understanding. Change is the key to real spiritual growth.
