“One of the general characteristics of a time of transition is the fact that we can’t go back but we don’t know how to go forward. And it creates this time of uncertainty, even a time of isolation. We often don’t like those moments and we want to get out of them as quickly as we can. But the reality is that if we look back on many, many years of how God shapes leaders –even biblically and historically –we want out of transitions, but God wants in. One of the things that is good about transition is the ability to have him refine us, and take us to a new place, deeper into our dependence on him, and what that typically yields is a greater ability to minister for him. The very thing we resist sometimes is the very thing he is trying to do to align us with him and grant us more of his presence. Because personal renewal leads to corporate change. Instead of resisting it, move toward it.” - Terry Walling

Ps Joel concludes the series "I Can See Clearly Now - From Control to Creation" exploring Genesis 22 and how true wisdom is found as we relinquish control to God and allow him to create new life in us.
"Through a combination of negligence, disobedience, impatience, and discontent with God’s rule, lack of trust, and rebellion, Adam and Eve choose their human-powered vision of progress. They risk it all in a quest to discover a divine presence within themselves. Cast out of God’s presence, they find nothing, only the taste of bitter fruit." - Mark Sayers
Ps Joel continues the series "I Can See Clearly Now - From Control to Creation" exploring Genesis 16 and how true wisdom is found as we relinquish control to God and allow him to create new life in us.
"It is no disparagement to a garden to say that it will not fence and weed itself, nor prune its own fruit trees, nor roll and cut its own lawns. A garden is a good thing but that is not the sort of goodness it has. It will remain a garden, as distinct from a wilderness, only if someone does all these things to it." - C.S. Lewis

Ps Joel starts a new series "I Can See Clearly Now - From Control to Creation" exploring Genesis 1-3 and how true wisdom is found as we relinquish control to God and allow him to create new life in us.
"It does not take much more than a quick dip into the platitudes of fridge magnet philosophy, and the Gnostic-like advice of many self-help books, to grasp the fact that the culture we live in does not offer much on which to build a deep inner life. The gospel transforms us from the inside out. The resilience, peace, depth, and wisdom that following Christ gives our inner lives are resources sorely needed in our day. Churches are the place where in community we discover inner depth." - Mark Sayers - Disappearing Church
