The Unchangeability of God

Hebrews 13:8 - "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever."

“You get worried about funding. If I say this [or that], will people stop funding [the church]…it’s jobs and it’s security and it’s families and their children. You get into a situation where you’re scared of saying what you believe.”

If we juxtapose the writer of Hebrews against this quote from a well-known evangelical preacher who has come out in support of homosexual marriage, we see two different mindsets. The writer of Hebrews in this same chapter tells them to remember those in prison who are suffering for their faith (Hebrews 13:3). Yet, there are many today who are denying their faith by compromising with what the word of God states.

There is fast approaching a time when to speak out against certain sins will be a crime. Before that happens, however, churches in America will lose their tax-exempt status if they speak out against homosexuality. Will we be worried about "funding" and whether or not our giving will be tax deductible? Or will we continue to sow into the kingdom, knowing that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever? How we respond to the fear of man versus the fear of God will inevitably determine our eternal state. May we know that our God is a holy God and desires us to be like Him in all things.
