This time I want to stay on some really important subjects! One of them is when we try to change something we often do not consider the root or roots that feed what needs to be changed. When you are expecting to influence people in your church with a new and innovative idea you come against odds that don’t make any sense! These odds are being fed by the root. To bring change to the landscape of your church you need to explore how to dig up the roots without destroying the good that has been planted. One other factor or option to consider is what is feeding the root.  Where is it getting it’s nourishment from? This is the way that is best in de-rooting because if you cut off the nourishment the root will die and so will the sphere of negative influence. 

In the Church there are many roots that have entangled themselves around great people who wish to do good but have been literally strangled by the negative root or influence around them.  Lately with all the discussion of “change” needed for the Church there has been mention only of surface change.  We need to get to the root and see if it can be nourished to become a catalyst for change. If not, then it needs to be de-rooted by lack of nourishment.  So change can come about and have a lasting influence in your church
