In every season of ministry and discipleship, it is essential to distinguish between what is unchanging and what must adapt. The message of the Gospel is permanent—eternal truth rooted in Christ that never loses its power. However, the methods used to communicate that message are temporal, shaped by culture, context, and the needs of the moment.

Confusion arises when we attempt to preserve methods as if they are sacred, rather than recognizing them as tools meant to serve the message. Faithfulness is not measured by clinging to familiar forms, but by ensuring that the timeless truth of God’s Word is clearly heard, understood, and lived out in every generation.

When we honor the permanence of the message while remaining flexible in our methods, we create space for God to move afresh—without compromising truth. Discernment allows us to let go of what has expired so that what is eternal can continue to transform lives.
