Firm Foundations for 2023

Rediscovering Biblical Manhood

Jay and Chicka explore establishing the "Word for the Year" as the foundation in prayer and petition for 2023.

Let us be thankful to God for Jesus Christ, the only foundation which he has laid, and for the abundant evidence which he has given us of the di|vinity of his character, the perfection of his righ|teousness, the acceptance of his sacrifice, the preva|lence of his intercession, and the future glory of his kingdom. Let us build our faith, hope, profession, obedience, and experience on Him as our foundation. We must not pretend to hold the foundation unless we are building thereon; for a foundation is of no use but to build upon. Having begun at the proper foundation, let us be careful that our structure consists of the best materials and avoid, as much as possible, all impure and pe|rishable mixtures. And if we are building on this foundation, we shall have all his glorious perfections engaged for us; his wisdom to direct us, his righ|teousness to justify us, his power to defend us, and his grace to bestow on us a full reward—when he "shall be revealed from heaven in flaming fire." Then, our building, though imperfect, will abide the trial, all our errors and infirmities will be purged away, and our virtuous habits will be carried to perfection. Amen
