No matter how long ago a Book was written, when it is Truth it is timeless.
I was marveling to someone how so much of what is written in the book
A Man called Peter is still as relevant today as then...
And then it hit me; because it is truth and truth is Timeless.
No wonder Jesus said,
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
Matt. 24:35
Ah, trustworthy Truth with nothing to hide
Where man can find comfort in Time's dogged tide
In a world of confusion and ignorance
Truth flies the banner of deliverance
Truth flies the banner of God's assurance!
This is a page-spread from Peter Marshall's Sermon
The American Dream preached in the late 30's to early or mid-40's
yet seems spoken for today!

Always unhindered
Through summer and winter
Tick-tock’s ready tinder
Kindles steady change
Where future-faced forces
From past-based resources
Cannot thwart the courses
Fools try to derange
Always unflinching
Through whirling and inching
Unfurling and cinching
Where tides tug and chase
As over and under
And through us the thunder
Of moments woo wonder
New moments replace
Always unmoving
Its evidence proving
In spite of man’s ruling
The matters of fact
Where all else estranges
What all else exchanges
But all of time’s changes
Leaves the truth intact
