​God with us: Weekly Pastoral Devotional

if it ain't broke

I admit I am stubborn.  I like things how I like them.  If I know how to do something one way, I will likely do it that way forever.  So, they might invent a new way, but I'll be slow to adopt it because the old way still works.  For example, I still like to preach from paper while many of my peers use an Ipad.  If I go to a restaurant, I am likely to order the same thing I always get rather than try something new.  I see this as wisdom, the whole "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" kind of wisdom...but some call me stubborn; which is also true.

But some things don't change and we shouldn't try to change them.  One of those is God's word.  While styles come and go (bell bottoms aren't popular much anymore, but hey, they could always make a comeback), the Bible is unchanging.  Some will try to argue that if we open our minds and try to see it in a new way or through a certain lens, we can adapt our understanding to allow for new ways of thinking...but often this is just an excuse to conform to society rather than to be transformed by God.

No, the word of God stands forever.  
Isaiah 40:8 says, "the grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever."

It is not up to us to say what is good or bad, right or wrong; that is up to God and found in his word; and his word is unchanging.  Society will change, culture will change; but God doesn't change and his word doesn't change.  

We must stand strong on his truth, while speaking it with love, but never bending our convictions to the world.
 
In Christ,
Pastor Scott
