Pastor's Pen

"The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever."

Isaiah 40:8

I never learned to type. When I was in school, there was a typing class—they used typewriters, which for those of you who were not in school in the last century was a mechanical or electromechanical machine for printing characters. Can't imagine what that would look like? Google it! So when I was in school, students took a class to learn to type using a typewriter. But I never took that class. I figured that I would be writing sentences out by hand the rest of my life. And then the internet came along. The internet changed everything. Instead of using typewriters, pastors use word processors. We do not write letters, we write emails; We do not carry sermon notes but iPads. Now I wish I had taken that typing class.

Just a quick analogy to get you thinking. What else will change in the next thirty years? What skills will our children need that we did not? One thing will remain the same: the Word of God. Any investment you make in the Word of God today will pay dividends into eternity.
