Is the foundation solid or rusty?

                In my opinion contemporary Christianity is like a house that has had new room additions and renovations performed by the most skilled  of tradesmen.  The only problem comes when the owner tries to sell the house and the buyers inspection reveals that the original foundation is actually a single wide mobile home with axels and hitch still intact beneath.

                What shall this home owner do to remedy the foundation problem?  After all, there has been substantial investment in the room additions and renovations.  It is rarely the case that such a home owner is willing to tear down their house and live in a temporary shelter while correcting the foundation problem.  More often the owners of this faulty house will declare there is no problem and ignore what risk lies beneath.  They will forge ahead hoping to find a buyer who won’t peer into the crawl space.  Meanwhile the original mobile home foundation will continue to rust and degrade until which time the house collapses onto itself. It is only a matter of time.

• What is the foundation of our Christianity?  
• Will it withstand the scrutiny of a skilled inspector?  
• Are we willing to correct any problems even if it means temporarily not having all the security we thought we had?
