5. The Foundation of a Pillar
A PILLAR IN HIS KINGDOM: PART III

6.  When the foundation is complete, it is a thing
of joy because the building will be secure.
The building can now begin.

7.  Christians cannot operate without the
foundation, i.e without Christ, and faith in
God (I Corinthians 2:1-2: 1When I came to
you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence
or superior wisdom as I proclaimed to you
the testimony about God.[a] 2For I resolved
to know nothing while I was with you except
Jesus Christ and him crucified.)

8. Although intended to
stand vertically, the
tower began leaning to
the southeast soon after
the onset of construction
in 1173 due to a poorly
laid foundation and loose
substrate that has
allowed the foundation to
shift direction. The tower
currently leans to the
southwest.

IF THE FOUNDATIONS BE DESTROYED, WHAT CAN THE RIGHTEOUS DO? –PSALM 11:3
The bottom's dropped out of the country; good people don't have a
chance"?

9.  Only God can take away your foundation,
and He doesn't intend to

10. You need a foundation because you
will be tested. When the storm
comes, not if... (Luke 6:47-49
48*:47 Whoever comes to Me, and
hears My sayings and does them, I
will show you whom he is like: 48
He is like a man building a house,
who dug deep and laid the
foundation on the rock. And when
the flood arose, the stream beat
vehemently against that house, and
could not shake it, for it was
founded on the rock.[a] 49 But he
who heard and did nothing is like a
man who built a house on the earth
without a foundation, against which
the stream beat vehemently; and
immediately it fell.[b] And the ruin of
that house was great.”)
THE STORMS OF LIFE NEVER DISAPPOINT

11.  Having a deep foundation is a sign of
maturity

12.  We go deeper and deeper in Him the
foundation until we become like Him, a
foundation

13.  When we dig deep enough, we become
more like him. We eventually become
foundations ourselves, which was God’s
intended plan

14.  If we are then going to become like Him, foundations
upon which other pillars will be founded upon, we are
to be careful what we build with. We are to build with
materials that will stand the test of time; materials that
won’t just make good pillars, but also solid
foundations in the future. This is why many become
disqualified in the end, while they made good pillars
built on a solid foundation, they didn’t dig deeper, or
use materials that can be an extension of Christ. For
example, inspirational music with no reference to
Christ, motivational-positive-thinking with no
reference to Christ (a form of Godliness, but denying
the power thereof I Timothy 3:5), Prosperity and
incomplete teachings
