Timelessness

I was in my quiet place (sermon writing office) today, going through a topical file. I pulled out messages on this weekend's subject, "unity," that went back to 1980. The first message, written out in longhand was from my sophomore year in college while I was leading the Jr. High group at the church I grew up in. As I reviewed the file it seemed like there was a new message about every two-and-a-half years. I think what really gets me is the timelessness of this topic and of those messages. There are others just like it that I can think of like love, grace and hope.

Oh Lord, help me to not wait longer than two-and-a-half weeks to share on those topics...from the pulpit - and my life.
