Foundations

My family andI lived and served a church in Amarillo from 1996 till 2004. When we first moved to Amarillo much of the area around the edges of the city were still undeveloped. By looking at the landscape all you could see were plyaya lakes and mostly low lying areas.
Not much later to our moving to the city did we see these low lying areas start to be developed into housing. My first thought was, "There is no way that they can build houses in those areas, the foundations will not last because of the plyaya lakes."
Needless to say, after the housing developments were finished and people started moving in, soon there began to be problems with the houses foundations. These nice expensive houses started having cracks in the walls, the doors were not lining up and some experienced major foundational problems. The reason was because they were not built on a firm, solid foundation.
Jesus, in the 7th chapter of Matthew, ends the sermon on the mount by telling those in attendance to be sure to build their lives on a solid foundation. He tells them that if they build on solid material, they show themselves to be wise, if not, then they are foolish.
This week, let's examine what kind of foundation we are building upon, the solid Rock of Christ, or the sifting sand of society...till tomorrow...Bro. Alan
