“SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE”

We live in changing times. More than ever before, and right before our eyes.

FASHIONS change. Don’t believe it? Just look at some of the pictures of yourself years ago! Side burns to here, Bee hives to there, high collars, bell bottoms- you get the picture.
FAMILIES change. Kin folk marry and move, babies are born, death divides and every year the family circle is altered a little or alot.
FRIENDS change. Childhood friends we once swore to be “best friends forever’ with are grown and gone and we don’t even know where they live anymore.
FEATURES change. Not many of us still weigh what we weighed in high school, and the hair we have is either turning gray or turning loose!

We used to have three networks on a Black and White TV - now we have 750 channels on a HDTV – showing the same three programs!
Records were replaced with 8 tracks, then came cassettes, then CDs now IPODS! We are surrounded by POD people!!!

And as one little gem puts it :
“My great-grandfather rode a horse, but was afraid of the train.
My grandfather rode on a train, but was afraid of a car.
My father rode in a car, but was afraid of an airplane.
I ride in an airplane, but I’m afraid of a horse!"

However, I’m glad that in the midst of a changing world, some things ……never change!

1.) The WORD FROM God …..hasn’t changed!
Psa. 12:6-7 “The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever”.

God’s Word is INSPIRED not EXPIRED! It’s ABSOLUTE and not OBSOLETE!

2.) The WORSHIP OF God…..hasn’t changed!
John 4:23-24 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

He hasn’t rescinded the requirement to reverence!

3.) The WAY TO God …..hasn’t changed!
Jesus said : John 14:6 “I am the way the truth and the life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

Salvation is still ….."For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."—Eph. 2:8,9

Each of these unchanging truths WILL change us!

Think on this, and remember to keep the SON in your eyes!
