The apostle Paul famously changed his mind. This is mentioned in his letter to the Philippians in Sunday’s lectionary. We see an account of just how radical his own turning-around was. He’s put behind him the whole orientation of his previous life (although he carried into his new life his drive and knowledge and no doubt many more things about his personality).
It is scary to change one’s mind. It hurts to abandon a life’s work as if it’s worthless before embarking on something new (verse 7).
This kind of change is not always what God needs from us.
But maybe it is sometimes.
In any case, at some point there is a decision, however clouded in memory, however muffled by circumstances or half forgotten, to choose Christ. Remember that churches are sometimes a poor reflection of the love of Christ, so to choose Christ is not necessarily to choose a church or to choose a particular way of being Christ’s.
May God give us grace to know when we need to set out on a new path.
