Unchanging Truth in Changing Times

I once listened to a conversation where someone boldly said that, in time to come, Christianity would take a back seat. My heart began to race. I felt a tightness in my chest, almost as if something inside me was protesting the very thought.

Many believe Christianity is ancient and outdated. They say times are changing; that we are no longer in the days of Paul or Joseph. So they choose the parts of the bible that favour them and discard the rest. But what they forget is that God is the Beginning and the End. He exists outside of time, that is to say He is neither a Gen-Z, a millennial, nor a Gen anything. He does not fade with culture, nor does He adjust to trends. He is eternal and ever-present.

Scripture declares that the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord. So there can never be a season when the message of Christ becomes irrelevant. If anything, this is the hour for its fullness. A generation is rising, people who understand the times, who know when to stand firm and when to be still, not moved by the trends but by this time, Issachar's children having a full understanding of the times and choosing to stand still. Those who have been prepared and refined for such a season as this. The message of Christ cannot be watered down to suit the age; the principles are ever ancient and ever present.

Does it not make you wonder at the rapid rise of immorality? The explosion of new technologies designed to improve life, yes, they have made life easy, but this distorts and distracts hearts. These very tools, though sometimes misused, are also aligning with prophecy—channels through which the knowledge of the Lord can fill the earth. Heaven sees. Nothing escapes God’s awareness.

It is foolish to think that life ends at death. Death is only the doorway to eternity. Therefore, we must not become complacent. We must not trade our convictions for cultural acceptance or dilute truth for conversational relevance. In these changing times, our prayer should echo the words of the psalmist in the of Psalms 25:4–5 (NKJV):

Show me Your ways, O Lord;

Teach me Your paths.

Lead me in Your truth and teach me,

For You are the God of my salvation;

On You I wait all the day.

May this be our daily cry—that He leads, teaches, and anchors us in His truth, no matter the times.

Stay Revived!
