The Immutable Word of God

"For ever, O Lord, Thy Word is settled in heaven."
                            -Psalm 119:89

In today's day and age, many people have forsaken the Word of God, claiming it is nothing more than a set of dusty old laws that are of no value in the year of 2010. The saddest part of all is that some of these people are so-called Christians! They believe that the Lord is interested in a "new revelation" for today's saints. I find it strange though that these same people are more than willing to accept the validity of verses like Hebrews 13:5: "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.", or Jeremiah 31:3: "I have loved thee with an everlasting love..." It's usually verses like, " ...that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;" (I Timothy 2:9), or maybe, "...whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." (Matthew 5:28) that people want nothing to do with. In other words, the verses such people claim no longer apply are usually the ones that inconvenience them in some way. But the fact is, the Bible never changes, nor does God's standard.

"For I am the LORD, I change not;..."
            -Malachi 3:6

 In the words of Isaiah, "The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the Word of our God shall stand for ever." (40:8) Times may change, people may change, but God and the Bible will never change!
