I was reading in my personal devotion yesterday in Phil. and verse 16 popped out at me. Hold firmly to the word of life (NLT). If there ever was a time to hang on tight and be firm in our commitment to what we believe, it is now. The bible in another spot tells us to earnestly contend for the faith. Turn the t.v. or radio on and you will hear so much that is supposedly new. Is it? There is really not much that is new under the sun. New packaging on an old heresy. New wording for an old sin, or bondage. Yes maybe we need to rethink our method at times, but what is true is true. It is still about that old rugged cross and the precious blood of Jesus. One drop of His blood destroys a legend of demonic activity. We sang The Old Rugged Cross at our nursing home ministry last Saturday and you should have seen the eyes and spirits of those precious people brighten. That old Hymn brought back so many memories for them. Hey don't misunderstand, I am all for new ideas and new ways to minister and reach the lost. Let's just make sure the emphasis is still on Jesus and his atonement.
Hang on tight! We could be in for a rough ride. God is still in control.
