Rocks

I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel (Galatians 1:6 ESV)

 

Rocks

 

I once caught a friend cheating in a contest.  Our school was having a competition building card houses.  The winning team was to receive some nifty, teen-age-popular prize.  I do not remember what it was.  My friend, though, and his team really wanted to win!

 

So, they used some clear glue (technologically advanced in those days) to solidify the first layer of card architecture.  My friends knew that a strong steady foundation is a comfortable and valuable thing.

 

Our society pretends to relish only change, but we also cling to those things that do not change.  We build houses on the rock, not the sand.  We quote constitutions, even when we do not understand them.  We promise to be home for Christmas. 

 

And the gospel does not change.  Christ Jesus is the only solution.

 

In our world of changing principles, ideas, philosophies, plans, agendas, and promises, we can know that one thing is as solid as a rock.  God’s gospel.

 

We are unique, the gospel is a rock.
