In this current topics course, which focuses on change that is relevant to you as a professional, we will be studying issues that impact us. In a rapidly changing world, it’s good to know that God’s nature does not change and that He is a rock of stability when everything around us seems to be built on shifting sand. The weekly devotions, therefore, will focus on God’s stable, unchanging character. For this first week, the devotional looks, in general, at the times we live in—the societal and spiritual context for this current topics course.
There are two parts to this week’s devotional:1. Define and discuss your denominational or faith tradition. Please keep this part short (maximum 100 words). For example, you might say, “I have grown up in the Church of the Nazarene and currently attend a Nazarene church. The Church of the Nazarene is a protestant denomination with a Wesleyan Holiness tradition.
2. Read 2 Timothy, Chapter 3, and discuss its implications for current topics in the leadership and management course.
