One of the things that we work with here in NEFC (Native Evangelical Fellowship of Canada) is Radio Broadcasting. We operate Native gospel radio stations across Canada. It's exciting to see God at work through our FM broadcast!
The radio towers we use are an interesting concept. The freestanding (no wires) 96-foot tower stands tall and has no problem handling storms and gale-force winds! Sure, it's built pretty solid, but the key reason for its staying power is the tower base.
The base of the towers are made out of solid concrete-26 bags of cement, steel rebar, half a truckload of gravel, and several gallons of sweat go into the creation of that foundation! There is no movement. It's there to stay!
In our Spiritual Lives, God's Word talks about the base we build on. First Corinthians 3:11 tells us: "For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ."
Getting to know Jesus, growing in our spiritual ways, going deeper in our walk with Him. All these point back to who we are basing our spiritual journey on. Of course, if He's not the cornerstone of our spirituality, or if there are other things that we incorporate along with the bedrock of God's Word, we won't have that rock-solid immovability, and our lives and actions will reflect a pattern of instability. We'll be like a baseless radio tower that's just waiting for the first good wind to knock it over!
Make sure your foundation is Jesus!
