Do you want to be contemporary? To be contemporary is to be dated. Popular music is constantly changing. The songs of 50 years ago are not popular today. Advertising is driven by change. Clothing styles change so people will buy a new wardrobe. And popular morals have changed vastly from fifty years ago. But the church is not called to change. It is called to be stable and steady, a rock in a sea of change. The Bible does not change. God’s instructions for the churches have not changed. His moral absolutes have not changed. Sin is still sin. Beware of being swept along by contemporary ideas. Cling to God’s Word for stability in your life. —Donald L. Norbie
