another area that never changes is GOD word and in this day in which we live that is so important to see
you need to build your life on something more stable and permanent and unchangeable than the current fad or current therapy or the current thing that is in vogue. in twenty years the new age movement will be nothing. it doesn't work. it's amazing what people believe.
matthew 24.35 (niv) JESUS said, heaven and earth will pass away but MY words will never pass away.
there has never been any book that has been more attacked, criticized, ridiculed, burned and outlawed than the bible. yet today all of those caesars, dictators and fanatics are all dead. the bible is still around. it has stood the test of time because HIS word never changes.
psalm 119.152 (niv), long ago i learned from YOUr statutes that YOU established them to last forever. the principles, the laws that HE lays down, are made to last forever.
alan shepherd, the very first american astronaut in space, was asked by a reporter just before he got into the capsule: “what is the one thing you're depending on most in this space venture?” his answer was classic, “i'm depending on the fact that GOD's laws never change.”
listen, what if the rotation of the earth was inconsistent? what if gravity reversed every other day? when HE made the whole universe, HE established some universal laws. they never change. they never have and they never will. the reason we can study science is because it is predictable. we can study some verifiable facts of life of physics that do not change.
and just as GOD has established the universe to operate on physical laws there are moral laws and SPIRITual laws that GOD has set up that we cannot ignore because they do not change and if we ignore them we have chaos.
do you remember when you were a kid and playing a game with a kid who keeps changing the rules? how can you win? the only way you can win in life is to play by the rules and GOD has established some laws, principles, commands in HIS word that do not change! there are some absolutes. there are some things that will always be right and some things that will always be wrong. it's not a matter of opinion and contrary to popular opinion GOD does not invent new rules for every generation. HE has established them to last forever.
just a thought from the front porch…
