"Change always demands a deeper understanding of the things of God and a more careful application of those truths to our lives. Since change is a lifelong process, it won't be over until we are in the presence of the Lord. So, as we encourage people to change, dealing with the needs of the moment is not our highest priority; rather, it is answering God's call to 'Be holy, because I am holy' (Lev. 11:44). As we call people to do what God has called them to do, we must keep this ultimate destination in view."
