“Anyone who listens to my teaching and obeys me is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock.” Matthew 7:24
Pier and Beam

The pier and beam is our final foundation, it is becoming one of the most used foundations spiritually. It appears to be more secure than our blocked, but is just as unsteady. We put our faith in Christ, yet we leave just enough crawlspace for worldly pleasure, self, and doubt. We listen but we pick and choose what we want to obey. This type of foundation can be very deceiving. It can lead others even us to believe we are secure because we have made Christ a PART of our foundation, but we are not secure.
“Not all people who sound religious are really godly. They may refer to me as Lord, but they still won’t enter the Kingdom of Heaven. The decisive issue is whether they obey my Father in heaven. On judgment day many will tell me, Lord, Lord, we prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name. But I will reply, I never knew you. God away; the things you did were unauthorized.” Matthew 7:21-23
We can say we love God; we can even play the part, all while missing the most important thing, a true, thriving, and intimate relationship.
Prayer: Lord open our eyes to see the foundations we are standing on. Lord help us to not wait until it is too late. Open our eyes Lord, we want to see You. Amen
