The definition of insanity that I first heard on the West Wing is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. According to the ever trustworthy website 'Brainy quotes' this was first said by Albert Einstein. Anyway, no matter who said it, on Sunday when many of us get up to preach we will do what most people think is the definition of insanity.

There will be non Christians who've sat there for weeks, months, even years and by the look on their faces they are thinking I've heard it all before

We'll do the same thing we do every week but expect different results.

It is sure that society has changed a great deal from Bible times, but man’s problems have not changed because every man is created equally in God’s sight. Every man has the same forefather in Adam, and as such, inherits a sin nature. Sin has not changed in thousands of years, so man’s problems have not changed either. Man may pervert the use of his most recent inventions to commit the same sins of robbery and murder as in Bible times.
Paul writes the letter of 2 Timothy as a sequel to the first letter to a young pastor named Timothy. Timothy had be
