Foundations

Psalm 11:3
If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

In two recent articles in two Christian publications it was claimed that 50% of children are born outside of wedlock. They also claimed that there has been a 50% increase of rape in Northern Ireland over the last number of years.

The family unit and the church are constantly under attack from the devil.

When I read these articles I asked myself “Why”? What has happened to society that we have come to accept lifestyles that are opposed to the teaching of Gods Word? Society has come to disregard life and many fail to respect it.

There has been an increase in suicides, abortion, rape and children out of marriage.

Why?

We have come to accept these facts because we no longer, as a nation, hold God in His proper place. We no longer see God as a Holy God and that He is to be feared.

We are under attack from our schools, books, magazines and TV. The family is being weakened by government legislation. They are attacking our foundations. They attack the foundation that there is a God. Evolution is taught to both young and old.

What can we do? We need to get back to the Bible and believe it. If we believe it we need to preach it through our words and actions.

As a nation we need to have the Bible as our foundation. It is only when we have a solid foundation that we can build a life and witness upon it.

Luke 6:46- 48 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
