I've heard it said, "The only people that liked to be changed are babies." I'm blown away by how many people resist new ideas and change.

Last week I heard my friend, Jeremy McCarter from Lifechurch.tv explain how people in the church will perceive you when you inflict change in the culture of the church.

1. They will Call you the Devil
Luke 11:14-15 (NIV)14 Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. When the demon left, the man who had been mute spoke, and the crowd was amazed. 15 But some of them said, "By Beelzebub, the prince of demons, he is driving out demons."

2. They will Call you Rebel
"That guy does some crazy, wild, outlandish stuff, but he get's the job done!"

3. They will Call You Leader

Here are some famous people and their thoughts on change.

• "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers." -Thomas Watson (1874-1956), Chairman of IBM, 1943

• "The concept is interesting and well-formed, but in order to earn better than a ‘C’, the idea must be feasible." - A Yale University management professor, in response to student Fred Smith’s paper proposing reliable overnight delivery service (Smith went on to found Federal Express - the professor went on to live in oblivion.)
