Why Newseason?

My experience and the teaching of scripture is that God leads us through seasons of life; childhood, adolescence, university, dating, marriage, parenthood, midlife freedom, and finishing years. It seems like the transition from one to the next is a kind of birthing experience. While we have become comfortable in one, we don't belong there any longer, and God is leading us into the next.



I think there are parallels in our spiritual development. Paul said, "leaving these things behind, I press on..." Following Christ is a journey, and we move from destination to destination. We cannot stay in one place spiritually. And often there is a correlation between new spiritual seasons and the seasons of life.



Recently I have been reading John Piper's book, "Future Grace". My heart has been so challenged to move into the next season of my journey with new confidence in Him and the promise that "my grace is sufficient for you, my power is made perfect in your weakness".



God is calling us to deeper communion, a new passion for holiness, and a fresh desire for the glory of His name. I'm convinced that God is calling each of us to a newseason of experiencing Him, enjoying Him, and allowing Him to flow through our lives. May we respond with "Do it Lord, I am willing to move on."
