They did not see the bible

I was talking to a family member the other day, who has been picture painting for many years now. He was ask by a church to paint picture for their new lobby / foyer.  So he came up with idea to paint a picture of the Church building sitting on a big beautiful bible. Obviously, showing the church is based on the Holy Bible (God's word) and it is their foundation.

Well, he hand painted the picture, it was accepted by the church and then placed in the new lobby and foyer. Months later, we talked and he made this statement," You know, I painted the picture of the church, BUT, no one recognized the bible it sat on".   Then God spoke to my heart and mind.

Many people to today see the big church buildings but they do not see the Holy Bible that the church is based on. Many do not see the bible as the foundation of the church. Jesus said,"
And I say to you that you are Peter, (Petras) and on this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades (death) will not overpower it . And Jesus is the corner stone, Behold, I lay in Zion a choice stone, a precious corner stone, And he who believes in ^[l]Him will not be ^[m]disappointed.” ⁷ This precious value, then, is for you who believe; but for those who disbelieve, “The stone which the builders rejected, This became the very corner stone,”
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and ^[o]acts on them, ^[p]may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. ²⁵ And the rain fell, and the ^[q]floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. ²⁶ Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not ^[r]act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. ²⁷ The rain fell, and the ^[s]floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.” Matthew 7

Jesus builds the church and became the corner stone. And many people do not see it and or they reject it.

Well, that's why we have to pray, preach and promote the gospel of Jesus Christ. For ALL other grounds are sinking sand. The song goes," On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other grounds are sinking sand" and truly all other grounds are sinking sand"

How firm is our foundation!! You saints of the LORD!!

 How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,  is laid for your faith in His excellent Word!
What more can He say than to you He hath said, who unto the Savior for refuge have fled?

Jesus is just a prayer away, please call in Him today, He will hear you and save you.
For whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be saved.
