The Permanence of Christianity



There are so many fads out there, and I'm not saying they aren't good things. Sometimes they work and help us, and thank God for those who study these things to better our lives. But one day all these things will be a part of our past. 
We have fad diets, one popular right now is the paleo diet. Who remembers the Atkins Diet? Then we have fad excercise programs. We start them, for some of us we continue but others randomly fall out of the good habits quickly. We have fad skin care and vitemin programs. There's fashion fads, and even music fads.Then we have the actors actresses and now U tubers everyone loves. 
 There's two things about these fads. We are doing them most likely bc they are popular and we have someone (a friend or family member) we know that introduced us to them bc they also thought it was cool. 
The thing about these cool fads whether people or products 20, 40, 100 yrs from now. They will have changed more times than we can count. 
Then we have Christianity, our relationship with Jesus Christ. Almost all of us were introduced to Christ through someone who also was a Christian. Maybe it was at a conference and a lot of people were praying and walking forward. Maybe it was friends but more than likely you didn't make a decision to follow Christ in an environment where people were not accepting, supportive and yes somewhat trying to sell you on The best decision of your life!! 
However all fads no matter how grand fade off and end. They change as new and better things hit the horizon. As people continually study skin care, weight loss, excercise programs, the older one take the backstage. The famous singers, models, fashion designers and actors that were famous in my day my children have no idea who they are!! 
But thank God for Jesus Christ. He is the same Yesterday ,Today and Forever. I find quite a bit of peace and confidence in this and knowing, "He loves me the same today as he did the day I accepted him!" Jesus isn't just another fad He is a way to life. The Life. The Only One True Life. 

Hebrews 13:8New International Version (NIV)

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
