Facing the fires of God!

“For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” I Corinthians 3:11

The starting point for a believer is the foundation of Christ. This is accepting that Jesus comes first and your goals and desires are subservient to His will. You live for God not self. 

Jesus laid the foundation for life by dying on the Cross. You must build your life on the values of the Cross and operate with pure motives. 

The fire of God will test your work to determine if you have built your life on the foundation of Christ. 

Your work will become clear under the fiery microscope of God. 

If your work endures the fire of God it will bring glorify to Jesus, last forever and you will be rewarded.

If your work is built with impure motives the fire will burn up your efforts and you will suffer great loss but God will save you. 

The vast majority of Christian ministry will be incinerated by the fires of God. 

It is very difficult to find a church or Christian organization built on the foundation of God.

How do you and I deal with this sickening mess?

Walk with God by faith believing in His promises. 

Take every thought or word spoken to you captive to the obedience of Christ Jesus.

Give the Holy Spirit authority over your life. He will confirm the truths of God and dispel the lies of Satan. 

Listen to the voice of God and respond with obedience to His instructions.

Pray vigilantly seeking the will of God for your life. 

Spend time every day in the Word and accept the teachings of Jesus without compromise. 

The authenticity of Christian ministry is performed by those who are not seeking personal glory or attempting to benefit from their work. They teach the truths of Christ without mediation.

Jesus gave up His life to save souls!
