God’s Unchanging Word

May 15, 2008


A friend sent me this comment yesteday …

Do you know what I love about the Word of God? Well, one thing, anyway is that it is unchanging. It will be the same when I am 80 as it is today. Yet something tells me that I will not recognize the larger evangelical community when I am 80. I’m sure many faithful believers, churches and pastors will be around, but I guess at that point we’ll be a community that used to be evangelical but will be called “fundamentalist” by then.

Whether we are called “evangelicals” or “fundamentalists” or something else entirely doesn’t really matter to me. What does matter–the only thing that matters, really–is that God’s Word does not, has not, and will not change. If we rest in that truth, we’ll be alright no matter how the prevailing cultural winds may blow or what words people use to identify us.

Do you have any thoughts or questions about this post?
