“New Golden Rule”

Posted on by

Some time ago I read in the paper an article about the “New golden rule.”

What is the “old” golden rule?

The Golden Rule is:

“DO TO OTHERS WHATEVER YOU WOULD LIKE THEM TO DO TO YOU.”

The article in the paper says that the “New golden rule” is “‘I don’t care'”.

You find The Golden Rule in the Scriptures, but the “New golden rule” is not in the Bible.

You find THE GOLDEN RULE in Matthew 7:14.

And please notice that The Golden Rule is “the rule of conduct formulated by Christ.” (The Collins Concise Dictionary)

SUFFOCATING

In his book THE ROAD AHEAD Bill Gates calls his second chapter “The Beginning of the Information Age.”

Years ago I heard someone say the writing of books is like a flood. We read about the flood on the first pages of the Scriptures in Genesis chapter six.

BOOKS

BOOKS

The “‘Teacher'” says at the end of the book Ecclesiastes that there is no end to the writing of books. There is no end of writing books, but all the words of the books including heaven and earth will pass away, except the words of the Lord Jesus Christ. Please read the words of the Lord in Matthew 24:35.

I agree with Frank Allen who writes in the introduction to his book “that we run the risk of suffocation in a blizzard of information.”

Do you feel that you are suffocating “in a blizzard of information?” I do!

But I remember the following information:

“‘FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONE AND ONLY SON, THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.'” – John 3:16

“‘WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM IS NOT CONDEMNED, BUT WHOEVER DOES NO BELIEVE STANDS CONDEMNED ALREADY …'” – John 3:18

That is actually the only information I really need. And that is also the only information you really need!
