We are continually transient.

We as pastors, but the church is ever eternal.

So not changing is a key thing.

Exactly.

Well, the thing is, I mean, there's the balance there.

In some ways, you're constantly changing.

You're adapting to new technology.

You're building like, you know, you're in the initial stages of a building project.

So in some ways, it's changing. What you don't want to're in the initial stages of a building project. So in some ways,

it's changing. What you don't want to change is the eternal part of it. And part of that is the

principles of leadership. You know, there's a scripture, and I can't quote it exactly, but there's

a scripture where God says to Moses, you know, put Joshua in front of the people and put some

of your favor on him in front of all of Israel. That's transition. But if you need all the favor

for yourself and if you need all the anointing for yourself and if you need all of the, you know, the acclaim or the compliments

or whatever you want to say for yourself,

you have no way to set up a transition because you're hoarding.

And that's where we get churches kind of messed up

because we've forgotten that part of our job, my job's not to look after me and my retirement or my future.

My job is to look after the church.

And that's important.
