FROM THE EDITOR

While walking along the bank of a river in Hungary recently, I saw a hairy caterpillar crossing the path. Some time, probably sooner rather than later, it will feel the urge to pupate, during which season it will be transformed into a beautiful moth or butterfly. Instead of being confined to walking on the ground, it will be able to fly through the air. It will feed on different food, live a totally different kind of life.

Are we still stuck in old ways that keep us ‘confined to the ground’, or can we catch God’s vision that He has to transform us, both as individuals and as His church, so that we can change our
ways of doing things, see things from a heavenly perspective, soar with God on eagles’ wings?

God wants to take us into new territory, do new things with us, give us a new vision. We can’t be caterpillars all the time. Let God change us as we seek to discern His vision for change.
