The Only Foundation

1 Corinthians 3:11

Paul reminds the Corinthian church that no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid — Jesus Christ. Everything else you build has to rest on that.

Check what you're actually building on.

Success, reputation, and comfort make unstable foundations.

Return to the one true foundation.

There's no substitute Paul is offering here. It's Christ or nothing.

Build with that foundation in mind.

What you build matters, but only if it's resting on the right base.

Let this simplify your priorities.

If the foundation is settled, a lot of secondary decisions get easier.

Revisit the foundation often.

It's easy to drift from the foundation without noticing until something shakes.

Dad Takeaway: Whatever you're building, make sure it's resting on Christ and not something else.
