Where is this truth more evident that in those in the circle of Hollywood? Yesterday’s stars are tomorrow’s tabloid fodder. The culture loves to idolize, cheer and worship the Spears, Woods, Colemans of the world until they dare to act human. Then we love to throw them on the trash heap and look for the next rising star we can bow down to.

contrast this to the church (the good, Biblical one). Those who have walked the longest with the Lord, have the most wrinkles and gray hair-these are our everyday heroes. We go to them for counsel. We go to them for a model of Christ like behavior we can emulate. We don’t dare think they are past their prime and worthless. They are precious and more valuable than the flashy young preacher who has so much to learn.

thanks for this post! great truth.
