Good Morning!

In a lot of organizations, change is like putting lipstick on a bulldog.  There’s a tremendous amount of effort involved, and most times all you get is some cosmetics – and an angry bulldog.

Real changes, whether in a business, church, family, or in ourselves, can be difficult.  While we long for a deep and lasting transformation, we often get only a temporary cover-up that solves nothing and satisfies no one.

The word repent is used in the Bible to describe the beginning of genuine spiritual change.

When we feel sorry for doing wrong or for getting caught, it may be nothing more than a spiritual cosmetic.  But true repentance occurs deep in our hearts and results in a visible difference in our actions. 

When we turn to Christ and yield to Him, He produces real change – not just a cover-up.
