Alterations

Resizing clothes without correct measurements or neglecting assembly instruction guides can cause undesirable outcomes, but altering God’s Word, our guidebook for right living, brings disastrous ones—our world’s condition is proof. There were no printed guidelines for the first couple in God’s new creation, for He walked and talked with them. But the moment they yielded to the wiles of the serpent who twisted God’s truth, humanity and Earth began dying. Our nation suffers when lawmakers and courts sometimes bend, violate, neglect God’s Word causing the innocent to suffer, even perish while the lawbreakers and evil prosper.

The Word of God written thousands of years ago hasn’t changed. To disregard the Word’s truth is to reject God, who authored it and judges us: “He that rejecteth Me, and receiveth not my words, hath One that judgeth him: the Word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day” (John 12:48).  Even when humanity chooses to defy God’s instructions, His Word stays unaltered. He is the same God of yesterday, today, and the same God who will always be.
