The pace of transitioning in the world is rapidly increasing. Last week the Dearborn Heights, Michigan Police Department transitioned their uniforms to include Arabic writing. President Xi of China and President Putin of Russia were recorded confirming their beliefs about life and longevity have transitioned. They now believe biotechnology and organ harvesting gives them a chance to live to 150 years old. Don’t ignore the avalanche of transitions and transformations we are witnessing each day.
Many facets of our everyday lives are effected by the transitions taking place. Sports radio and podcasts have transitioned into casinos promoting betting odds for everything from car racing to golf. Behind the influx of cash with NIL money and the transfer portal, college football is no longer amateur athletics. LIV started the transition for golf and the PGA. This last week a prominent Senator transitioned away from supporting the Declaration of Independence and the fact our rights as Americans come from God. The French Ministry of Health sent out a memorandum to each hospital in the country telling them to prepare for up to 50,000 beds in use and ‘a major military engagement’ by March of 2026.
Headlines proclaim who and what is transitioning and the staggering results from their transitions. School shootings by those who are on psychotropic drugs to transition make the front page. England, France and Germany talk of defaulting currencies and bailouts resulting from their transitioning demographics and populations. Each time there is a transition the resulting change can be smooth or chaotic, positive or negative.
Just when you think the news can’t be any more chaotic hold onto your pocketbook. The governments in Europe have declared the beginning of transitioning their currencies into digital form and not paper money. The transition into CBDC’s is on the calendar for the 4th quarter of this year.
Our world has been in a state of transition and transformation since the Garden of Eden. God transformed this planet from a swampy darkness and hasn’t stopped. God continues to offer transformation to mankind through his Son, Jesus. God’s plan is to continue allowing everyone the free will to follow the ways of the world or His Kingdom; to transition or transform. In the book of Revelation, the Creator tells us the planet will literally transform through a fire to burn it all away and start again. The last transformation.
Beneath the surface of the headline transitions we read about is the underlying spiritual metamorphosis you don’t want to miss. Hearts and minds are transitioning and transforming across all facets of culture and society. Peter Thiel now promotes trans-humanism and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The influential billionaire is actually giving a lecture series on the correlations between AI and the anti-Christ. Behind each of the world’s transitions and transformations is a spiritual impetus. Learn to discern the differences while you can.
Christians are called to be at the front of the line in the ultimate transformation that doesn’t involve drugs, wars or surgery. This transformation takes place in the mind. ‘Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.’ Another Christ follower was more granular when he spoke of the changes for his own life… ‘He must become greater: I must become less.’
The Bible is a record of God transforming people and places. Simon transformed from a fisherman into Peter, a fisher of men. Saul transformed from murdering Christians into Paul, a prolific writer and leader of the Way. These were not mere transitions and name changes, these were life altering transformations.
The news headlines mostly reflect misguided transitions from selfish desires and their negative consequences. Men and women can choose their desires or God’s desire for them. Do you want the outcome of your changes to contribute to a better world for everyone, yourself or a select few? Do you want to transition into being a different sex or a more humble and submissive Christ follower? We are ALL transitioning each day. THE question to ask is, ‘How does GOD want to transform me?’
In the headlines today are transitions in currencies and alliances both domestic and abroad.

Friendships and alliances like NATO are transitioning before the coming skirmishes. AI is transitioning what you read AND see. Technology has transitioned our brains and the way we interact with each other. God is our only hope for lasting transformation.
