We live in a time of aluminum cans and paper plates. It is a time when recycling seems to be the “in” thing to do. Today’s aluminum cans are recycled into tomorrow’s aluminum foil. Today’s paper plates are recycled into the sacks that McDonald’s uses when you get a hamburger.
Not only is this true in these material things, but it is also true in regards to the moral climate of our day. Things that, at one time, would be hung as a burden around the neck are now the stepping stones to popularity and riches. Even marriages have changed from contracts for life into arrangements until one gets tired of it.
Have you ever wondered if there is anything that is stable and enduring? Did you ever simply wish that something that made the claim of long life would actually follow through with its claim?
There is something that is even more useful than recyclable aluminum and more enduring than anyone’s marriage. This book is as fresh as today’s newspaper, but speaks to and about people in a way that no writing of any era ever has or ever will. This book is about 3,500 years old in its oldest parts, and about 2,000 years old in its newest parts. What is this book? It is the Bible.
The next time you are tempted to think that there is nothing of substance that lasts anymore, why not consider the Bible. Furthermore, it is true to its word, for it says, “The word of the Lord endures forever.” (I Peter 1:25). |
It is our prayer that the family of God in Richmond, Kentucky will earnestly strive to be like the Christians of the first-century as they are described in Acts: 2:41-47. We pray that we will:
If we love one another as a family, and serve each other with the spirit of peace, there are no limits to what we can do for the Lord. May God bless each of us in His service. The Elders Paul Alexander Deacons
