You cannot stop up the Word of God. Ask Jonah. The more you know the Truth, the more the lies of this world are going to offend. The more you know the sweet grace of the Father, the more odious the sin of this world will be. The more you know the Peace of God, the more thin and ridiculous the peace that men speak of will be. The more you know the next world, the less substantial this one seems. Vapor, a vain chasing after the wind. Only the good which God does through us is permanent. Only that which glorifies God will last. Monuments built to our own cleverness are sand castles and the tide is coming in. The pyramids are the most lasting human endeavor ever built but they are crumbling, soon the desert will swallow them but that which is good, that which loves another in Jesus' name, the least kindness done for the least of these, a cup of cold water for your thirst enemy, a hug for a hurting stranger, to mourn with those who mourn and celebrate with those who celebrate, the planting of a seed of truth in a bed of lies...
Those are monuments which shall stand for eternity.
