Smell the cheese often so you know when it is getting old!
I love change. I even love change for the sake of change. I get bored with the same foods, fonts, clothes, furniture arrangements, music. I like the new stuff. I like change.
It’s amazing how we can get so used to certain things that they start to stink like old cheese…and we don’t even realize it. In some areas of our lives…it really doesn’t matter that much. It’s more about preference…if you are a creature of habit and still wearing your clothes from the 80’s…that’s your deal.
But in the church…it definitely matters. People outside of our church walls can sniff out stinky cheese pretty quickly. We have to be evaluating regularly…what are we doing in our programming that is getting old and stale? Let’s not change just for the sake of change, but let’s make sure we don’t let it get old, stale…or stinky!
