ОБ ЭТОМ ЭПИЗОДЕ
As the 52nd Annual Holy Convocation comes to a close, Bishop Norris Mills brings the week’s theme, “The Right Foundation,” to a personal question: Where will you stand?
A foundation is built to carry the weight of what rests upon it. Spiritually, that foundation is Jesus Christ. Through Ezra 3, Bishop Mills reminds us of the consequences of drifting away from God, the importance of obedience, and the need to examine ourselves to make sure the distractions and influences of this world haven’t pulled us away from where God has called us to be.
Even during Israel’s exile, God remained their God. And just as they had to return, rebuild, and reestablish what mattered, we too must recognize that deliverance may be needed more than once and continually choose to follow God’s direction.
This message also challenges us to consider what we’re investing in. Are we only looking to receive from the house of God, or are we willing to invest in what we say we believe? Are our differences keeping us divided, or can we stand together on the foundation that unites us?
Pastor Dexter Long reminded us to choose the right foundation. Pastor Danta Covington declared, “God Rules. We Repent. Christ Saves. We Obey.” Now Bishop Mills leaves us with the question:
Where do you stand?
The trends, fashions, and attractions of this world will change, but Jesus Christ remains the only true foundation. Know the source of your strength. Know whom you serve. And when life brings its storms, make sure you are standing on the Rock.
“For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” — 1 Corinthians 3:11
