Psalm 11 v 3 reads,''If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?'.Let me ask you a question, what are the foundations that our faith are built upon?. The answer is found in Ephesians 2 v 20,'On the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the chief corner stone'. John Stott writes,' The church stands or falls by its loyal dependence on the foundation truths which God revealed to His apostles and prophets, which are now preserved in the New Testament'. Of course Christ holds all things together,as it is His church,he is the chief corner stone. Anyone who undermines this foundation must be challenged,that is why Jude exhorted the church to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God's holy people. ( v3 ) These truths have been intrusted to us by our forefathers,let us not betray that trust,by yielding to a godless society,and those who have liberal leanings,or those who have added to the scriptures. It was Martin Luther who said,'' Here I stand I can do no other, God help me''.for that, he was branded an outlaw.Are you an outlaw?.
