Jesus Christ, the Only Foundation

The Sovereignty of God
The Sovereignty of Jesus

Builder of the House

1 Corinthians 3:10-15   The Message

^9-15 Or, to put it another way, you are God’s house. Using the gift God gave me as a good architect, I designed blueprints; Apollos is putting up the walls. Let each carpenter who comes on the job take care to build on the foundation! Remember, there is only one foundation, the one already laid: Jesus Christ. Take particular care in picking out your building materials. Eventually there is going to be an inspection. If you use cheap or inferior materials, you’ll be found out. The inspection will be thorough and rigorous. You won’t get by with a thing. If your work passes inspection, fine; if it doesn’t, your part of the building will be torn out and started over. But you won’t be torn out; you’ll survive—but just barely

For Reflection

Emptying your soul from guilt and sin is only a first step.  An empty soul invites fulfillment.  Be sure that you fill your soul with God-centered desires.  A soul filled with the Holy Spirit leaves no room for sin.

Pray

that you will displace all that invites sin into your soul.  Pray for the wisdom to fill your soul with God-centered desires.  Pray that your desire to follow Christ occupies the core of your being, your soul.
