“Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He shall lift you up” (James 4:10).

"For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory" (II Corinthians 4:17).

“But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil” (II Thessalonians 3:3).

“Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus” (Hebrews 10:19).

“For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ” (I Corinthians 3:11).

The only sure and lasting foundation, for either a Christian institution or an individual Christian life, is the Lord Jesus Christ. No other foundation will endure in that coming day when “the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is” (I Corinthians 3:13).
