The Lay of the Land (5): The Right Foundation

When you start building house on the wrong foundation and figure it out in the process, you don’t finish it that way. It is difficult and sets back the work but it is better than having a house that won’t last.

I don’t know who would say they would settle for multigenerational unfaithfulness but that is what is happening in the church of today. If we have been doing things in a way that can’t bring multigenerational faithfulness then will we do the work to bring a change?

Deuteronomy 6 gives a non-sophisticated blueprint. Anyone can do it. First you have to live it and then you can give it. Living God’s way and teaching God’s way every moment we live is simple yet it takes intent and commitment.

What has our commitment? It is frustrating to look back and know that we may have lost ground. Gather everyone together and call the past what it was and start laying the right foundation. Get into the fight and ask for help when you need it. Lay it all before the Father and let him guide you. Live it and give it.
