Resistance

In order to be better and be more positive this year let's remember there has to be change. The problem is that we are slow to keep resolutions that have a cost. Consider the following:

10 REASONS WHY WE RESIST CHANGE
1. People misunderstood why they must change.
2. People lack ownership in the changing process.
3. People don’t like to change their habit patterns.
4. People feel the new is not worth the price.
5. People resist when they are threatened with the loss of something valuable.
6. People are satisfied with the old.
7. People are just negative towards change.
8. People don’t respect the change agent.
9. Tradition: we have never done it that way before.
10. People have greater resistance when change comes as a surprise

A change for the better is a change that involves following Jesus better. Amen?
