Jesus said, " Whoever hears the things I say, and does them, I will compare them to a wise man, which built his house upon a rock.  The rain descended and the floods came, the winds blew and beat upon the house, and it did not fall because it was built upon a rock."  It is no secret that the Church has been facing a storm in recent days.  The winds of change and challenge have blown against those who call themselves the people of God; and we have seen some fall to the pressure of the wind while others have stood still even in the face of adversity.  The true church of God is not known by its stately stone structures or eloquent words of tolerance and peace.  The true CHURCH is known by what it UPHOLDS and STANDS upon. It is known not ONLY by its words and works, but the character that motivates those actions.  It is one body of people, worldwide, with one heart and mind unified by the Spirit of God which inhabits it's members.  It is the Pillar and SUPPORT Of the truth...Jesus Christ and Him crucified...and HE is the message on its lips and in its hands.  In times when everything that can be shaken is FALLING, it is the TRUE church that overcomes and stands as pillars for the TRUTH in perilous times.

Join me as this week we look at the CHURCH, the PILLAR and Ground of Truth.
