“LOVE LEADS ME TO PRAYER.” – Andrew Murray

From the North to the South of New Zealand.

I have been to the northernmost part of New Zealand, but not to the southernmost part of the country.

I should actually make an effort to get to the Bluff.

“Invest in your spiritual growth with good quality Christian books at low cost!” begins the email I received not long ago.

That is important.

I have bought many good quality Christian books at low cost. A good number of my books are bought second – hand.

I think my best buy was seven volumes on ROMANS by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones second – hand in Whangarei many years ago.

But it is of uttermost importance to invest in our spiritual growth with “THE BOOK OF BOOKS,” the Bible. The Lord Jesus Christ says, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” You find that in Matthew 4:4

At the beach

First Corinthians 3:11 says, “For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.”

We can build our life on a faulty foundation, or

we can build our life on the real and lasting foundation.

THE FAULTY FOUNDATION.

Four faulty foundations have been pointed out to me in The Life Application Study Bible. They are:

WEALTH,

SECURITY,

SUCCESS and

FAME.

THE REAL AND LASTING FOUNDATION.

The real and lasting foundation is our base.

The real and lasting foundation is our reason for being.

The question is now: Are we building our life on a faulty or on a lasting foundation? We must be careful how we build

The Lord Jesus Christ is the ONLY real and lasting foundation.
