Pastor Dale Walker

A good foundation is necessary to hold up a building or a life. The purpose of a foundation is "spread out the load" over a large area, in other words, keep the stress or weight from concentrating in one area. For a Christian the foundation that supports us is Jesus Christ, the word of God who became flesh. We can see how to act and re-act to every situation we face by seeing what Jesus did and how He did it. Jesus was tempted in every way but never yielded to it. Jesus was falsely accused, cursed, beaten, spit on and crucified on a cross all without losing his temper or fighting back to defend Himself or His reputation. Our goal should be to walk in the same way by depending on the same Spirit that empowered Him to empower us. This can only happen by staying close to Him by reading and meditating on His word daily, even hourly. Make sure you are supported by the strong foundation that is the only one that weathers all storms, Jesus Christ. He is always the same, yesterday, today and forever!
