When "New" Isn't Better...

Several years ago when Coke came up with it's "New Coke"... the backlash was ferocious as people revolted demanding their "Old Coke". Being a purist, I had to concur with the dissenters on this one, plus... I just liked the Old Coke. Being a business man, always interested in marketing, I personally suspect that the whole "New Coke" idea was a marketing scheme to drive the market place. Putting aside the carbonated conspiracy theory, "New" wasn't better! And if "new" isn't better with soft drink recipes... one can only guess that "new" and God's judgement isn't good either...

When Korah, his two sons and the 250 Israelite men who stood in opposition to Moses and Moses told them that "if the Lord brings about something totally, new..." - dude that isn't good! The earth split open and swallowed Korah, Dathan and Abiram and their families, possessions, then closed up over them... then the fire broke out on the 250 Israelite men holding the censers... I'm thinking... don't mess with God! When God does a totally new thing and He is mad... you've got to hand it to Him... that is original!
