If you’re like me than you were excited to hear that a new
version of Angry Birds was out. From the original, through all the Seasons, and
then into Rio, and now these ticked off birds are chasing the green pigs into
outer space.
These once popular birds had recently taken a back seat to
Temple Run, so it was perfect timing to come out with this newest game. I have
beaten the previous three versions of the game, and am a little embarrassed to
admit that I even pulled a few all-nighters when the debut version was
launched. But it was clearly time for something new.
With new gravity-defying strategies, backwards launching,
and even a new bird joining the ranks, the makers of Angry Birds did exactly
what developers need to do to keep from fading out of relevance.
Some churches and religious groups feel the need to do the
same thing. They think that the message of the old rugged cross does not apply
anymore. Sermons on sin were for our grandparents, but we need to keep up with
the changing times.
While I am all for making preferential changes, the message
of Jesus Christ should never change. Why? Because He never changes.
James wrote that with the Father there is “no variableness,
neither shadow of turning.” That means that God does not change who He is or
how He acts.
As beings who change we may struggle with that concept, but
that is the beauty of serving an out-of-this-world God.
