Are you a chip or a rock?

Good morning everyone!! Today, the day after 9-11, we in Texas will remember as when the evacuates from the Texas coast will be heading this way to avoid Hurricane Ike. But remember, God is good all the time, all the time God is good!!

1 Peter 2:7 "Yes, you who trust him recognize the honor God has given him. But for those who reject him, "The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone.""

Jesus told Peter in Matthew 16:18 "Now I say to you that your are Peter (which means rock), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it."

The rock on which Jesus would build his church has been identified as (1) Jesus himself (his work of salvation by dying for us on the cross), (2) Peter (the first great leader in the church at Jerusalem), (3) the confession of faith that Peter gave and that all subsequent true believers would give.

Peter reminds Christians that they are the church built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Jesus Christ as the cornerstone. All believers are joined into this church by faith in Jesus Christ as Savior, the same faith that Peter expressed here. Jesus praised Peter for his confession of faith. It is faith like Peter's that is the foundation of Christ's Kingdom.

Where is your faith? How strong is your faith? Are you afraid to express your faith? Let go, let God. If God leads....all will turn out okay. Thank you for reading. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
