Photo creditIt has been obvious lately to see what the difference is between someone who has a testimony of Jesus Christ as a foundation in their life and someone who is "carried about with every wind of doctrine." I am grateful for my faith because it gives me a foundation. Sadly many are without this faith, or they have a misunderstanding of Jesus Christ. Those who do not have a foundation are easily misguided. They may see a cause as good and struggle passionately for it, but without a foundation there is no reason not to trample on the rights of others or disrespect themselves to get their goals accomplished (i.e. cheating from someone else's test in order to get a good grade). Having a foundation gives a person structure in which to accomplish their objectives. It gives a person not only a "good" to strive towards but more importantly "a Higher Good" to be accountable to and a divine purpose to fulfill.
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
Speaking of foundation, I am also grateful that my Church has a foundation centered on Jesus Christ. Have you checked out the LDS Newsroom lately? Good reading here.
