Live Timelessly

Have you ever considered the impact of time in your life? There's really not enough time to think about that too long! Bill Bennett (President Regan's Secretary of Education) wrote a best-selling book in 1996, The Book of Virtues, which was filled with stories intended to teach basic moral principles lacking among young people. In a recent interview Bill Bennett said he was contacted by the publisher about writing a 25th anniversary edition. The publisher's lucrative "offer" included Bennett agreeing to updating the principles to be more "politically correct." Good for him, Mr. Bennett declined. As I repeated this story to a friend recently, he commented, "Isn't it amazing how timeless the Bible is." What a profoundly true statement! The Prophet Isaiah wrote, "The grass withers, the flower fades, but the Word of our God will stand forever." (40:8). If you are living by any truths other than those in God's Word, be sure you'll be ever re-establishing a baseline of principles for living. God is Timeless and so is His Word. Live timelessly.
