Are You Building On A Faulty Foundation!?!







Upon What Are You Building!?! 

Do You, Perhaps, Have A Faulty Foundation!?! 

Are Your Building Materials Substandard!?! 

Is Your Builder Bloated With Beer!?! 

Are Your Construction Plans Drawn With Doubt 
On The Paper Of Fear!?! 

Beloved, 

We Cannot ... As Christians
Build Houses Upon Quicksand! 

We Cannot Order Materials 
Without First Having Construction Plans! 

We Cannot Pay For Our Building 
Without Knowing Ahead Of Schedule Our Total Costs 
And
Making Plans For Contingencies 
Aka Unexpected Expenses
Over-Runs, Unforeseen Circumstances
Built-in Losses
Delays, Disappointments
Illness, Weather Events ... Bearing A Cross! 

To Have A Firm Foundation
There Must Be Land Owned Upon Which To Build! 

To Have A Sturdy House
You Must Have An Honest Builder 
Upon Whom You Can Rely! 

To Have A House That Keeps You Warm And Safe Within 
While Permitting You To See What Terrors Are Without
You Need Windows Aka Eyes That See And Know
And 
Strong Doors Strategically Placed
And 
A Table Upon Which To Place The Good Book Of Blessings 
Which Is Also Your Hedge Of Protection 
Against Known-Enemies Marauding! 

If Your Foundation Is Destroyed
Your Four Walls And Roof Can't, Won't, Stand
So Count Your Costs With Christ
And 
Build Your House On The Rock Of Ages 
And
Know That No Matter What Happens
You Have Made The Right Choice! 

Faith, Hope
Trust, Truth
Grace, Mercy
Blessing, Peace, Rest
Unyielding Endurance 
And
Unfailing Obedience 
Are Unbreakable Bricks With Which To Build: 
Bind Them Together With Heartfelt Prayer 
And
Look Forward To Moving-In Day! 

Jesus Christ ... The Builder Supreme
Will Never With Your Hope And Trust 
Deceitfully Play! 

Peace!
