Subject: "The word of the Lord endureth for ever" |
Bible Note: "The word of the Lord endureth forever." Amen, Kalos, amen! ..... Your post caused me to reminisce -- at my age almost anything causes me to reminisce -- and in recalling the works of literature I studied in school, which were then "required reading," I was astonished by how many of them are no longer read widely if at all. Of all the many books that have won either the Pulitzer Prize or the Nobel Prize for literature over the years, a mere handful remain in print. The majority are practically unknown today, even among folks who are supposed to be educated. And in the main the blockbusters of today, those for which readers readily shell out 25 or more dollars, very soon will end up in the bargain bin of used booksellers who will be happy if they fetch a dollar apiece. I've browsed bookstores, chiefly used ones, for decades. Increasingly do I find more space devoted to New Age than New Testament, to gay and lesbian studies than resource materials on the history of the Church, to Harry Potter than Apostle Paul, and to how to live longer on this earth than how to live eternally in Christ Jesus. ...... I don't know but I do wonder what the ratio is among professing Christians between the hours they spend reading secular works, the most enduring of which are essentially ephemeral, and the word of the Lord, which "endureth for ever." --Hank |
