My God Is The Same
And Without Change

There are pressures on all sides to compel folks to change or conform to new ways of doing things. There is new technology for every phase of our existence. On every turn, we must either conform or be left behind. Being left behind is the keyword. If I do not understand the latest computer or the most engaging concepts or the reasons for global warming, etc., that is alright. So! I fall behind. Behind the world in it's insanity - that is not a bad thing in my mind.

The Word of God says:
The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.-- Ecclesiastes 1:9 ( KJV ). The real truth is there is nothing new - only new ways of presenting what has always been here.

The Word also says:
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
-- James 1:17 ( KJV )

This is the part I don't want to miss out on. The good and perfect gifts of God for my life are the things that are important to me. I love the Gospel of Our Lord. I love the 'Old Time Religion' and the songs of the church. This is the way I learned about Jesus. I will not change! I do not believe those who say I must change my way of worshipping. For me to turn away from the ways I was taught to meet Jesus would mean a spiritual disaster in my life. I cannot and I will never stop loving the Gospel and it's presentation that I learned as a child. I love the Gospel songs, the hymns and the architecture of the old time church services. If I don't fit in with the world or even fail to please some in the church world, then so be it.
