WITHER ARE WE DRIFTING ?
There is no doubt that we live in a very changeable world, and over the past few years nothing remains the same for long, but when we come to the word of God, principles laid down therein are the same for all time, and do not change with the whims and fancies of men and women today.
The Scripture says “Jesus Christ the same yesterday today and forever,” Heb.13.8, and this surely goes for His word. In Proverbs 22.28, we read “Remove not the ancient landmark which thy fathers have set.” That which has been a guide for so long, let's not do away with it. We hear so many people say, we must move with the times, let's, alter this, let's do what others are doing, let's do away with this and that, but what is put in its place? You remember the Israelites wanted to be like the other nations when they asked Samuel for a king to judge them, the Lord said to Samuel they have not rejected you they have rejected me. 1 Samuel. 8.6,7. Let us not seek change for change sake but, let us keep to the old paths and the truths laid down in scripture.
There seems a great reluctance these days in some quarters to stand up for what we believe. I was reading “Gems from Tozer” the other day and Dr. Tozer says, “A new Decalogue has been adopted by the neo-Christians of our day, the first word of which reads “Thou shalt not disagree” and a new set of Beatitudes too, which begins “Blessed are they that tolerate everything. “It is far easier to swim with the tide, its more difficult to go against it. I am concerned for the young people of our assemblies today as no one seems to tell them what we believe, and why we meet as we do.
It has been a great joy to me over the years in assembly fellowship to spend the first part of the Lord's day around the table. What a precious time it is when in quietness and reverence we worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness (Psalm 96.9), and to carry out His wish “This ye do in remembrance of Me (Luke 22.19). As we sat and gaze at the spread table what do we see? Just bread and wine? Or do we see beyond the emblems the Lord Himself suffering upon the cross?
In my younger days we had many great men of God, giants in the faith, who spent much of their time teaching the young, but where are such people today? With all the pressures of the world today and the many false doctrines which lure many from the truth we need to get down to the study of the scriptures and the Holy Spirit has promised to lead us into all truth.
How easy it is to let things creep into the assembly which we know that once would not have been tolerated. It's much harder to remove them once they have established themselves. The Apostle John writing to the church at Sardis in Revelation 3.2, said “Be watchful and strengthen the things which remain that are ready to die” Paul writing to young Timothy could say “Hold fast the form of sound words which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus (2 Tim.1.13) and also “But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured” (2 Tim.3.14). We need to be watchful and to hold fast to the truth and to make sure that it is not taken from us. The enemy has always been very busy causing havoc amongst the people of God seeking to rob God of His portion.
I am reminded of a little incident in the life of Abraham, when in Gen.15 he had been told to “look toward and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them, and the Lord said so shall thy seed be” and he believed the Lord. He was then told to set up the alter and take a heifer, goat, ram, turtle dove and young pigeon, this he did and in verse 11 we read “and when the fowls came down upon the carcasses, Abram drove them away. How lovely the thought that Abraham was prepared to stand guard over what was God's. We need to guard the Lord's things which remain, otherwise the fowls of the air will come and rob the Lord of His portion.
(By Reginald Webb, Assembly Testimony, May/June 1985)
