The More Things Change The More They Stay The Same

As most of you know, I enjoy using puns for humor. I just think they are punny - see. Anyway, when I first heard this statement I thought someone was just trying to be funny. But recently, I begun to realize just how true the statement is. Having been in this world for a few years now - I am trying not to say I am getting old - I can look back and see how much this world has changed in the last 50 years. Not only can man fly around the world in a matter of hours now, but he can also soar into the heavens and look down on this earth for outer space. While in the past, it would take days for a letter to reach a foreign country, now we can sit at our computers and type a letter that reaches another continent in mere seconds via email. We have hundreds and thousands of modern conveniences that give us more time and yet we still can't seem to find time for God. I guess that is one thing that hasn't changed. When Solomon told us in Ecc 3 that there is nothing new under the sun, he wasn't referring to the gadgets and gizmos that man has created. I think he had more of the consistancy of God in mind. With all of these modern marvels, we are still a sinful people that are in need of a Savior. There is still just one way to be saved - through the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His sacrificial death on the cross. I am glad for the changes that have occured in my lifetime. But, I am even more glad that God has not changed nor has His plan of Salvation.
