8 For even if I made you grieve with my letter, I do not regret it—though I did regret it, for I see that that letter grieved you, though only for a while.
9 As it is, I rejoice, not because you were grieved, but because you were grieved into repenting. For you felt a godly grief, so that you suffered no loss through us.
10 For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death.

17 “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have more than enough bread, but I perish here with hunger!

19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Treat me as one of your hired servants.” ’

Time to Change.
• After we swim we change our cloths. When your little sister has a wet diaper…someone changes it. Every so often your Dad changes the oil in the car. Not all changes are good.

• The change we are talking about today are essential if you want to live for God, if you want to follow the Way-maker and be a Way-maker for others.
