Foundations

For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 3.11).

Jennifer and I are just back yesterday from a wonderfully enjoyable holiday in Bulgaria, partly spent with our friends Stoicho and Yura Apostolov in Lom. Also in a mountain town, in the north west of the country. There we are engaged in renovating an old building as a holiday/retreat centre. It made me think a lot about foundations.

Whatever we do in life, we need foundations to build on. This building needs to be strengthened, to stand firmly on the foundations. It’s easy to get carried away with superficial niceties and decorative features. But the foundations are where detail and investment matters.

I feel challenged to make my own personal foundations deeper in the right way. Is this a good time to check our foundations?
