"For I am the LORD, I change not..." Malachi 3:6a

    One of the attributes of God is His immutability. He doesn't change. Jesus, being God has this same testimony. The writer of the Hebrews says of Him, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever." (Heb. 13:8). Wicked men are constantly trying to change God. Paul wrote of those who..."changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man..." (Rom. 1:23). Solomon cautioned his son saying, "My son, fear the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change" (Pro.24:21).

    Men want to change our Bible to a more "readable" language, but in the process the message gets changed. We are seeing churches changed to worship centers, social gatherings, and religious clubs. The political system is experiencing radical change. The all-out effort to change our country into a socialist state, with a dictator and controlling czars is very troubling. The morals and standards are under attack with the acceptance of social drinking in spite of God's warning (see Pro. 20:1) is also alarming.

    On his deathbed, King David gave Solomon good advice when he said, "And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself:" (1Kings 2:3)
