Buildings in Europe often have dates on them. It is not unusual to see a building built in the 1600 or 1700’s. It is hard to believe that America wasn’t even a nation then! A good motto for life is, “Build it strong so it stands LONG”! Don’t be like a foolish carpenter who builds his house on a beach. (Matt 7:26) We have the choice everyday to put more mortar in the bricks of our foundation. Each time we decide to walk in truth, we can fill up any cracks that have come over time. We want to build our lives strong so they stand long. We want to build our families strong so they stand long. We want to build our church strong, so it stands long. Building strong takes more work than building weak. It takes following a blueprint, and using good materials, and having good craftsmen doing the work. It takes patience, and integrity. It takes an investment. What are we willing to do so that our lives, our families, our churches all stand strong? It takes conviction for a cause. Are we willing to abide by the principles that God has set forth in His Word so that we can stand strong and last long? Let’s be more than just someone who believes, let’s be people of conviction. A belief is something that you hold to, but a conviction is something that holds on to you. A conviction becomes your anchor. No regrets people are anchored in Christ, living life with conviction, knowing that a lasting legacy happens keep holding on, even when storms blow. Our foundation is firm, built on the Rock of Jesus Christ.
