1 Cor. 3

Patty and I are going to have a shed built in our backyard. Foundations are on my mind right now.

The Apostle Paul gives attention to this concept in his letter to the Corinthians. Obviously, there were some misconceptions about how to build a spiritual building. He reproved the new church for being allured into carnal methods of building. He restated that Christ Jesus was THE FOUNDATION. Then, they were to be very careful how their spiritual lives were constructed. Build with quality materials such as gold, silver and precious stones. Build for the storm rather than for fair weather. Every day we read and study God’s Word, we are using the best materials available.

Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock. [Matt. 7:24]
