The church doesn’t have to stay stuck in a time warp. The Holy Spirit can help us change.
A woman from Orlando, Fla., was recently in the news because she decided to retire from driving her 1964 Mercury Comet. Rachel Veitch, who is 93, bought the car new for $3,300 when gasoline cost 29 cents a gallon. Today her light yellow car has 567,000 miles on it.
Mrs. Veitch will probably get at least $44,000 for the vintage antique because she took such good care of it. But whoever buys it will either store it in a fancy garage or display it at an auto show. There are not too many miles left on this relic of the past.
Cars have a life expectancy. Most 1964 Mercury Comets have long been doomed to the junkyard. Engines die, carburetors rust and models go out of style, so we trade them in for newer vehicles. In our fast-paced world, Apple debuts a new iPhone every few years and the most popular apps have almost monthly updates. We’ve come to expect frequent upgrades.

The
Bible tells men to treat their wives as equals. But in a machismo culture, this is easier said than done.
Whenever
I travel to Latin America I usually carry a pair of handcuffs in my suitcase. I
use them as a visual aid when I’m preaching about the machismo attitude that is so prevalent in that region. I remind
everyone in the audience that esposa,
the word for wife in Spanish, is the
same word used for handcuffs.
Esposas.
Why would the word for wife be the same word for a form of bondage? Because
women in many Latin countries suffer unthinkable abuse in the home. Puerto
Rico, where I spoke last week, has one of the highest rates of domestic
violence in Latin America, and many women die there every year at the hands of
their partners.
