Minister Says
Some Religion
Only Glitters
Did you know that the expres
sion “All that glitters is not
gold,” probably had a Biblical
basis? According to the guest
minister preaching this week at
the First Presbyterian Church
the Rev. Chilton Thornington, it
can be traced to an incident
that occurred nearly a thousand
years before the birth of Christ.
The Rev. Thorington explain
ed:
Rehoboam, son of Solomon,
was ruler of the tiny southern
kingdom of Judah, which was
pillaged by the marauding Shis
hak, king of Egypt. Among the
goodies stolen from the palace
in Jerusalem were certain shie
lds of gold, symbols of wealth
and power, which were promi
nently displayed on festive oc
casions to impress visitors and
countrymen.
Not to be outdone, Rehoboam
ordered new shields of polished
brass to be substituted, thus
giving the appearance of gold.
Little did the people know that
‘■all that glittered was n o t
gold!”
Too often, we do the same th
ing spiritually — displaying our
shields of brass when the gold
is gone out of our lives. One
way we do this is by substituting
a superficial piosity for a deep,
personal piety. Religion, for
some, is like the veneer on some
furniture — intended only for
others to gaze at and admire,
but under adverse conditions will
warp, crack, and peel off.
In our religious faith, as in all
of life, we need to be done with
our masquerade of appearance
and embark on an adventure of
reality. Tonight the Rev. Thor
ington will speak on the topic,
‘•Called To Repair The Brea
