Daily Devotions: by Christina Farris

1 Corinthians 3:1-15 KJV
(1) And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
(2) I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
(3) For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
(4) For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
(5) Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
(6) I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
(7) So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
(8) Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
(9) For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
(10) According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
(11) For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
(12) Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
(13) Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
(14) If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
(15) If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

The foundation of works. Trump talks about building a wall if he gets in as President. Well the wall might last in this world, but it will not the next. It hard to explain what God’s fervent heat will be like on the day of destruction when one thinks of a steel wall and the level of heat it takes for things to melt. 911 only showed that steel beams in a building were only as strong as they could handle the heat. Texas is hot and so is Arizona but not that hot. Yet it is hot with all hot oil that catches fire every year. There is a point what man makes can be destroyed. Yet what is made is made to last when people take care not to use abuse or terrorize a people. Yet things only last for a time. God’s Word has stood the test of time over and over again.

Our nation built on the foundation of God is loosing its foundation of faith. It has been going on for a long time. It not something that happens in a day, week or even a year. Every time a Bible is removed from public place, the law of God is removed. Every time a public store stops selling Bibles, they loosing God’s word despite it being sold for profit. Every place of business that can display a Bible should. If nothing else for retail. Yet someone desperate for a Bible one should be provided if possible, unless a store can not afford to give so many away a month or year. Think about it Christians business what can you do in help to spread the Gospel of Jesus. Making the Bible available just a simple copy is better then none. Yeah it might collect dust, but I have seen dust on other items in store more easily and readily bought. Point being making God’s word available online, offline and so forth is only half the problem. The compaign of Spread of the Gospel starts with education and love. Not all will do and can do what I speak, but it would begin a crusade without end. So what you sell wedding dress and not books, or antiques and not books, or cars and not books. Why not try it. Just because they take the most important book from our capital does not mean it has to be removed from our lives.

The foundation of faith is more then a book it is on the physical Jesus and his ministry of love. The Son of God, the King of Kings and Lord of Lord, is His name. How much do we have to think before we realize the problem is not just our government but the individual who refuse to know what God has to say to them. The individual that refuses to build on the foundation of God and His Word. Refuses to listen to God’s word.

Do not refuse business of a man that displays a Koran in his store or some other religious book for they are bound to copy us. Consider this you are the only walking Bible that might enter His store. What is your life being built on. Is it the foundation of Christ, or the foundation of another guru who seems to know business because they make a profit and know how to sell. Apollos and Paul must have been good teachers of His day, but the foundation of every believer can not be built on a teacher other then Christ Jesus. Paul can not save one soul from hell. The Holy Spirit must convict the sinner of sin. The minister can only preach and tell what God lays on his heart.

If enough people display God’s word, enough cry out the government has to hear, but not only government but the people of the world starting with our town’s, county, state and nation. Each generation must fight the good fight of faith in love. Each generation struggles with faith just like past generations. We pray and ask God to heal our nation, but what are we doing to get the word of Christ out. To tell people he will forgive you if you ask. He paid the price for our sins.

God will destroy the things not built on the foundation of God. Trump wall will only stand as long as God allows. The day of God’s destruction is based on when He tells Son come and bring my people home and then pours out his wrath upon the earth. Salvation comes with faith. Put a Bible in your Business and see what God will do.

Dear Heavenly Father open our communities ot the knowledge of the Chief Cornerstone of faith His name is Jesus. In Jesus precious name, Amen.

Continual Scripture Study for Devotion:

2 Peter 3:9-13 KJV
(9) The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
(10) But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
(11) Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
(12) Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
(13) Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
