Securing your Spiritual Foundation

Published: Thu, 01/19/17

Recently, our pastor preached an impactful message that relates to so much of what we are doing with Take Back Your Temple.

The message was based upon Psalm 11:3:

"If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?"

Below are my notes from his message. I hope it makes you think about the state of your own Spiritual foundation today:

  • A foundation is the load-bearing part of the building. If the foundation is unstable, cracks will develop in the building.

  • A foundation is below the ground and is not seen. Most cracks in homes come from foundation issues; in other words, a problem with something you can’t see is causing a problem with something you can see.
​​​​​​​
  • A foundation must be deeper and stronger than the building itself.

  • How long a foundation lasts depends on the quality of the rock in which it is anchored.

Most people are only interested in filling in cracks and painting over them. They are only concerned with looking good, not in developing goodness in their lives.

However, this creates a bigger problem. If the foundation issue is never addressed, the cracks will come back!

If the foundation problems are severe enough, they will eventually cause a collapse! Here you see a great picture of a house with an unstable foundation.

I believe this picture illustrates the core problem with the diet industry; it is about crack filling, not addressing the foundation issues that cause the problem in the first place.

That is why so many people lose and regain weight. Does this make sense?

This is the reason why the first 2 steps of the Take Back Your Temple program address the foundation of your life.

We focus on these before we even start talking about eating and exercise.

From my own weight loss journey, I’ve learned that it does little good to address eating and exercise if life issues have you collapsing under the weight of them and turning to addictions to cope.

In the following article are 7 signs that you have Spiritual foundation problems in your life.

If you feel Spiritually or emotionally unstable, this is a must-read:
