The Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy is going to fall! Scientists travel yearly to measure the building's slow descent. They report that the 179-foot tower moves about one-twentieth of an inch a year, and is now 17 feet out of plumb. They further estimate that by the year 2040 the 810-year old tower will have leaned too far and will collapse. Quite significantly, the word "Pisa" means "marshy land," in French which gives some clue as to why the tower began to lean even before it was completed. But to add to that the towers foundation is only 10 feet deep! The cornerstones are weak and not deeply rooted.
And so it is with the Christian morality in America today. Indeed, if we don’t strengthen and rely on our cornerstones of God’s word and a close relationship with Him we are headed for the same fate. Do you want to strenghten your foundation, your relationship. GET IN CHURCH! Be encouraged and be a encourager, you can't do either sitting at home watching Wheel of Fortune. Study your Bible everyday, read a book written by someone with a different spiritual perspective than yours at least twice a year (with a open mind :))and set aside times to pray several times a day, even if its for 10 seconds.
Sounds simple? Good, we have no excuses.
