The Ring

 Greeting to you all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,’

     Hebrews 13:8-10 says,Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and “to day, and for ever. 

  Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.  We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.”

     I finished up working on the farm in 1957 and one of my last jobs was to put the ring back in the nose of a 600 lb Pig. we would call that big a cell she had just had 12 piglets and she was not a happy pig. the owner of the farm got on the back of the pig with a pipe with a wire through it around the pig's nose .  The owner was holding the pig still so I did not get bit. the closer I got to the pig's nose the more it squealed Friday it came to the point of where I had to apply pressure and pinch the ring into the cartilage between the two nostrils of the pig. the first ring Mis completely and the owner said I had to get closer that was not to my liking at all. I loaded up the second ring got close to the biggest nose and clamped it shut. it was in but just barely in. what is interesting to me now is the fact that people voluntarily go out and have rings put in their doses. some things don't change and other things do change quite often. that which was detectable in the past has now become an ornament of jewelry to both men and women.

 we noticed from the above scripture that there are a few things that do not change in life. one of those of course is God's law and his standards his statutes his ways his precepts Etc the little verse that says Jesus Christ the same yesterday today and forever reminds us of the fact of the eternality of the godhead threw up all of life. this amazingly points up the fact that In what type of book will you put your trust today? will you put your trust in William Shakespeare? will you put your trust in mark twain? we can answer the question of course not. Just take a look at Psalm 119 with its 100 and 76 versus and all but five of those verses speak about God's word. it would be good for you to go through Psalm 119 and find those five verses that do not.  You will find that the majority of the verses in Psalm 119 will speak about the way the testimony the Commandments or other synonyms that speak about the scriptures. we can have confidence in the fact that these do not change. I also look around and see many young people with tattoos and metal objects in their faces, or parts of their bodies that I don't see and don't want to. I often think of that 600 lb with little piggies as unhappy as she was and she detested the little ring in her nose and now people want to have one put in for ornaments. Society changes things . praise God today that we have a word that does not change God's letter from his hand to our hearts.
