In Herman Melville's classic novel, ‘Moby Dick,’ there is a poignant moment when the captain tightens a vice on his own hand. With a pain filled expression on his face he exclaims, ‘A man has to feel something that holds in this slippery world.’ We live in a changing, transient world. Nations like ancient Rome and Greece, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, all become strong and then corrupt. Finally, each one fell. Will America experience that sad cycle? Ozzie and Harriett moral values are declared outdated by many modern people. Is there anything that lasts in this slippery world? Yes! These things: God's love and righteousness - the Bible, God's revealed truth - and the Church which is the only institution on earth guaranteed by the Word of God to last forever. Grab hold of something that holds!
