1 Corinthians 3:10-11
10By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should be careful how he builds. 11For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Those who lay foundations as a trade will tell you that their work, though often a thankless job, is perhaps the most important feature of a home. The foundation layer builds with care, knowing that his or her work will determine the strength and sustainability of all that follows.
The foundation will also be tested, everyday and in every way. When the fire comes, a house can be rebuilt if the foundation survives the test. If the foundation was not laid correctly, the former house cannot be rebuilt - it can only be replaced.
What kind of churches will we see when the foundation of the church is not Christ? Church Planters - Apostles, work passionately at laying a foundation that will stand the test of time, trials and fires that will inevitably lay siege to the churches they start.
