Our new birth is grounded not in the wisdom of men that will come and go, but in the word of God that never fails. Public opinion, current best practices in life, the latest trends for living, the whims of socially acceptable behavior is constantly in motion; changing with the tides of the latest generations. Building our faith on the precepts of man – whether it be his institutions, or his cultural preferences, is always bound to fail. The only certain, unchanging foundation we have for life is the living word of God.
