| 0:00.0 | It's Friday, February 4, 2022. I'm Albert Moeller and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview. |
| 0:13.0 | Through the Prophet Malachai, the Lord declared to his people, |
| 0:16.0 | I do not change, therefore you are not destroyed. |
| 0:19.0 | It was a word of God to his people to say if I did change then you would be destroyed because I would |
| 0:26.4 | be displeased with you to the extent that I would violate my own covenant and have nothing more to do with you. |
| 0:32.3 | The only reason why you continue as my |
| 0:35.1 | covenant people is because even as you change in the flittiness of your heart and |
| 0:40.2 | in the superficiality of your worship, I do not change. Now theologians refer to this as the |

| 1:18.1 | And this word is not just to Israel, it is also to the New Covenant people of the church. |
| 1:22.4 | The only reason why we remain and will ever |
| 1:25.4 | steadfastly remain God's people is not because we hold to him but because he holds us |
| 1:30.9 | and he does not change. |
| 1:33.8 | So let's be really clear, the immutability of God is one of the most precious truths that |
| 1:37.8 | God is given to us in scripture. |
| 1:39.8 | It is one of the most foundational issues of our comfort. God doesn't change, his promises are true, |
| 1:46.2 | his word is eternal, it is unchanging, as well as sharper than any two-edged sword. |
