It's a historical fact that many movements end up becoming monuments over time. This is due to a gradual move away from the initial standards and doctrine. "With each new evidence of deterioration, we lament for a moment, and then become accustomed to it." - Slouching Toward Gomorrah. Contrary, Jesus is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. His words and truth remain the same. Where am I? Am I become more and more like my Lord and Saviour or do I slowly become comfortable with the way of the world?
