We live in a changing society. Inventions over the past fifty years or so have drastically changed how we navigate life. House phones, car phones, pagers, large computers and word processors to a hand-held computer/phone/camera/secretary/personal assistant! Our cars can now start, stop, and park for us! People will text a person sitting right next to them!Do not speak in the hearing of a fool,
For he will despise the wisdom of your words. Do not remove the ancient landmark, Nor enter the fields of the fatherless; (Proverbs 23:9-19)
What I learned in school is no longer the way it is. Is Pluto still a planet? New math....I never got old math! Yes, even boundaries of nations have changed! There is no more U.S.S.R. The names of the cities in the Middle East have changed. You better get a new map too....oh no, there is always Google Maps and GPS!
Yet as the writer of Proverbs reminds us, be careful how we speak, think and change things. His has set things in place spiritually! Don't give in to political or cultural correctness. Be wary! Don't be blown around by every new thought or word ( Ephesians 4:14). Stick with the foundational Truths (Hebrews 6:19). Know what and Who you know!
There is the spirit of the times and the Spirit of God . . . Whom or what is moving us?
But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them..... (2 Timothy 3:13-14)
