The Pillar and Ground of Truth

Scripture:

I Timothy 3:15  "but if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how men ought to behave themselves in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of truth".

Observation:

Paul is writing to Timothy and here he tells him part of why he was writing.  He said he was writing so that men would know how to behave in the house of God, which is the pillar and ground of truth.  He calls the church, the pillar and ground of truth.

Application:

The Church of Jesus Christ is suppose to be the pillar and ground of truth.  It should be the place where the truth is making people free.  Pillars support buildings and the ground is the foundation.  We need to make sure the church is on solid foundation and that it is build strong on the word of God.  We ought to behave ourselves in a way that let's the world see that the church has a strong foundation.

Prayer:

Father, let me live in such a way that people see Your church as a strong place where people live solid lives.  Let my life reflect your strong foundation and pillars.  Let truth be the foundation of my life and let me live a life that is pleasing to You above all else.  Show me the way forward.  Guide me in every step of my life.  Show me how to live godly in Christ Jesus.

Your Son,
Jeff
