Churchianity And New Norms

I don’t know what all the New NORMS are going to be for us and Churchianity 2015, but I know they’re coming because “Thy Kingdom come” is continually coming in increasing manifestation. Jesus described the Kingdom like a seed and a tree or yeast spreading.  That’s a picture of His ruling order and His authority increasing in our awareness until its influence is big enough to change us, our lives and our Norms.  And while new NORMS sound really awesome, new NORMS also mean some old ones are going to be shaken.  That may sound seamless at first, and we might think, “Bring it on,” but it might be more realistic to think, “How big a boy are ya?” Many folks could tell you stories of outliving major storms that were caused by Kingdom awareness increasing and old Norms getting shaken in their church.
