The LeFevre Quartet‘s song, “Things We Cannot Change,” brings a powerful message of faith and reliance on Christ, a theme deeply rooted in biblical truth. Drawing inspiration from Colossians 2, the song echoes the apostle Paul’s warnings to the early church in Colossae, where false teachings, human philosophies, and rigid spiritual practices threatened to confuse believers. Paul’s message was clear: Jesus alone is sufficient, and believers are made complete through Him.

Mike LeFevre spoke of Paul’s teaching as he reflected on how Colossians 2:10 relates to the message of the song. “In Colossians 2:10, God reminds us that we have been made complete in Him. He is our fullness, and when we need strength and when we need somewhere to go, He is our answer,” Mike says. His words underscore the importance of trusting in Christ’s sufficiency, especially in times of uncertainty.

“Things We Cannot Change” beautifully expresses this truth, reminding listeners that while life is filled with uncertainties and challenges, faith in Christ provides the strength we need. As Mike shares, “That’s why I love this song ‘Things We Cannot Change,’ because our life is filled with things that are uncertain, and we need to live by faith, and this song reminds us that He is our strength.”

For believers today, much like in the time of the Colossians, the temptation to rely on worldly philosophies or additional practices for spiritual fulfillment can be strong. But this song encourages a return to the simplicity of the gospel, where Christ is all we need, no matter what we face. The LeFevre Quartet delivers a message that resonates with listeners, pointing them back to the sufficiency of Christ in a world filled with things beyond our control.
