"Foundations"

Luke 14:28-30, Luke 6:46-49

 

•1.     Spiritual

 Dr. Tom Ellis, chairman of the Southern Baptist Convention's Council on the Family said that for "...born-again Christian couples attend church regularly and pray daily together..." experience only 1 divorce out of nearly 39,000 marriages -- or 0.00256 percent.

 •2.     Deep

 The Tower of Pisa was a work of art, performed in three stages over a period of about 177 years. However, the tower began to sink after construction progressed to the third floor in 1178. This was due to a mere three-meter foundation, set in weak, unstable subsoil.

 •3.     Even

 2 Corinthians 6:14 - Do not be yoked together with unbelievers.

 Matthew 11:29 - Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
