Let me tell you something &#8212; these votes have absolutely no standing with God. He certainly does not check with church policies to determine what is proper or improper. His Word stands!<\/p>\n<p>In Luke 21:33, Jesus assures us with these words of eternal confidence: <span style=\"color: #c40000;\"><strong><em>\u201cHeaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.\u201d <\/em><\/strong><\/span>Those words, spoken by our Savior, are as true and sure as anything can ever be.<\/p>\n<p>If there is ever a time in your life when you struggle for a solid rock to stand upon, it is God\u2019s unchanging <em>Word<\/em>.

It will require reading, searching concordances, Bible dictionaries, etc., but the result will be well worth the effort.
