In our current summer series “R U in DRIVE”, we have been studying how the gears of our transmission are a lot like our spiritual journey. And…sometimes it seem like you will never reach your destination. Take heart…the journey is lifelong.<\/p>\n
Anyway…this past week we looked the functions on a GPS. We asked the question, “What is you favorite feature\/function on a GPS (or your phone)?” We came to the conclusion that “re-routing” is one of the most useful features a GPS can have. If you find that you have taken a wrong turn or are following someone who really doesn’t know where they’re going…much less how to help you find your way…re-routing is an amazing feature. We discovered that re-routing is a lot like repenting (a word we don’t talk about much any more in churches). But repenting is nothing more than changing direction (aka re-routing).<\/p>\n
Following that same train of thought…repenting or re-routing is very similar to making a 3-point turn. When you take the driving portion of the test to get your license, most places ask you to performa 3-point turn. Basically, you acknowledge that you need to turn around and go in a different direction. So, at that point you must 1) stop<\/strong> your forward motion, 2) move<\/strong> out of the flow of traffic, 3) wait<\/strong> on traffic to clear, 4) let others know your intention to change direction, 5) move to the other side of the road, and 6) begin moving again\u00a0<\/strong>in the opposite direction. That’s re-routing! That’s repentance!<\/p>\n So…if you realize it’s time to change direction. DO IT!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In our current summer series “R U in DRIVE”, we have been studying how the gears of our transmission are a lot like our spiritual journey.
