Foundation

1 Corinthians 3:10-15
By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder and someone else is building on it. But each one should be careful how he builds. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, that is Jesus Christ. If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw, his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire and the fire will test the quality of each man's work. If what he had built survives, he will receive his reward. If it is burned up he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames.

The only foundation that can hold up something eternal is the ROCK, Jesus Christ. Everything that is built will be tested through his purifying FIRE. Will you be builders that when the FIRE comes only escape with your life? Or will you be a builder who's foundation is secure and will go through the purifying and still stand tall? I apply this to myself as someone trying to build something eternal and pleasing to my Father. I let him break up and get rid of all the debris in my life, so he can be my FOUNDATION, and the rest is history. Build something eternal and receive your reward in heaven. Don't be someone who loses years of work thinking you were standing on the rock when you were really building sand castles. The waves will come and the FIRE will consume, but will you be honored or put to shame for a foolish foundation.
