Change! As our primary presidential candidates
give speeches and debate with one another across our nation, one
theme seems to stand out above all the others: "We need change!"
The large crowds at these political rallies are caught up in the
spirit of the time, and they, too, are crying out for change:
"Change that we can believe in!"
People today are, basically, no different from
what people have always been. Mankind has never been satisfied
with the status quo. In the areas of science, exploration, discovery,
medicine, economic development, technology, inventions, etc.,
this unsatisfied desire for something new has led to great advances.
However, in religious, moral, and ethical areas,
this unquenchable desire for change has been to man's great ruin
and destruction. God said, "For I am the Lord, I change not:"
Malachi 3:6. Yet, men have not been content to worship the one
true God and have changed the glory of the incorruptible God into
an image made like to corruptible man; they have changed the truth
of God into a lie. Romans 1:23, 25, 26.
"Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today,
and forever." Hebrews 13:8. He built His church. Matthew
16:18, 19. He has sent forth His gospel. Mark 16:15-16. He has
warned, "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any
other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you,
let him be accursed." Galatians 1:6-10; Revelation 22:18,
19.
Our purpose, with this paper, is to present the
one true unchangeable God and His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ.
We hold up and defend the gospel of Christ through the church
of Christ, which He has purchased with His own blood. We invite
and strongly encourage you to join with us. We commend this issue
of the paper to you and pray it will be beneficial. Albert.
