When I work out, I think about the randomest things. And today was no different from usual. There’s a christian rock band from the 90s called Pillar. Random thought, yes. I was thinking about how in 1 Timothy 3, Paul refers to the Church as a pillar, a pillar of truth. Thinking about that, it’s actually a really neat thought. A pillar is something that sustains or holds other things up, right? Like a pillar on a building or a house. It’s connected and basically bolted to the foundation (aka wouldn’t be able to stand without the foundation), and then from there has the privilege of holding up the rest of the building. The Church (us christians, believers, saints--whatever you refer to the followers of Christ as) is supposed to be the pillar of Truth. We are who...or what, if you will, filters out man made thoughts and beliefs from God’s truth. That’s done through studying God’s Word.. and there is SO much vitality in seeking to understand the Bible. God has ordained us believers to be His pillar, holding the Church in place and together. The interesting part is that we tend to hold the Church in place in our own strength, instead of remembering the fact that we must be joined to the Foundation before we can successfully hold anything up.
Anyway, that’s my random working out thought for the day. Off to conquer some blood work.
