                     On the Immutability of God
                     --------------------------
                         by Arthur W. Pink

"Immutability is one of the Divine perfections which is not sufficiently
pondered.  It is one of the excellencies of the Creator which distinguishes
Him from all His creatures.  God is perpetually the same: subject to no
change in His being, attributes, or determinations.  Therefore God is 
compared to a _rock_ (Deut. 32:4, etc.) which remains immovable, when the 
entire ocean surrounding it is continually in a fluctuating state; even 
so, though all creatures are subject to change, God is immutable.  Because
God has no beginning and no ending, He can know no change.  He is ever-
lastingly "The Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither
shadow of turning" (James 1:17).  "

                taken from "The Attributes of God", by Arthur W. Pink.
                The book covers many of the Lord's attributes, such as
                His Holiness, Knowledge, Power, Love, and Patience.
