Money Isn't the Only Rich Word

My friend, mentor and close relative, Melvin Branham, said something to me recently that has stuck in the fore of my mind, thus I am sharing it today. Mel was talking about the seeming conflict of different enlightened minds on the subject of consistency. Many think the trait is a waste and leads to a bland unimaginative life. Shakespeare shared his thoughts on the subject with “Consistency, consistency, thou art the rarest among the jewels.”

As a Bible student and Christian I am persuaded that Shakespeare was on target with Jesus Christ and the teaching of the entirety of scripture with the value, the importance of being a consistent person. One critic of the value of consistency entered the fray with, “How can a consistent person deal with constant change?” The poor soul assumed he had wrapped up the argument and put it to bed for good. Along comes Mel with this truth, so meticulously stated:

“Consistency means to meet change, not with worn out methods, but with the character of Christian consistency.” Mel Branham.

Several years ago a group of fellow Christians took up the challenge of condensing several verses into one word. A sharp new convert among the group came up with this on 1 Corinthians 15:58, “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.”=Consistency!
“Character of Christian Consistency.”
