What is the rock upon which the church is built? Matthew 16:18.
The foundation of the church was laid by the prophets and apostles, with Christ being the cornerstone. Ephesians 2:20
In the OT, the Yahweh is said to be the rock of my salvation.
So what is the church built upon, our Triune God, Yahweh, or our Lord and savior, Christ Jesus, or the Apostle Peter? Or perhaps something else?
We certainly know Christ is the head of the church. And using biology for illustration, we know the body does as the head commands. So, referring to the body of Christ, the church as a spiritual organism, when the head says stand, the body stands, and when the head says evangelize, the body evangelizes.
So might one aspect of the "rock" concept be obedience, for His sheep hear and follow His voice. Could divine influence, rather than disregard be part of the bedrock of the church?
Interesting thought and a hat tip to Dr. MacArthur.

Ok… I need stall mats. Where can I purchase them?
What kind of stall? Shower stall? Horse stall?
Horse… for my chicken coop. The ones in there are dried out and worn. So before I put them out there…
Thanks

Kentucky... Here is my secret... A lot of what I quote that I call word flip are preacherism that I collect as I hear a preacher use them... Turning something negative, positive or vice versa... Many preachers feed the flock while other preachers fleece them... Brother Glen
You can fool some of the people all the time and all the people some......
Here is another one of my preacherisms... If Gold is such a precious metal why does Heaven use it as pavement?... Brother Glen
No one is home but do you have a pet?... If you do and your pet is lifeless... You do!... Brother Glen
This brings to mind a quote from Bilbo Baggins that I still smirk at today:
"I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve."
"I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve."
I love that quote.
If you want to know God’s will, read Scripture. If you want to hear God’s will audibly spoken to you, read Scripture aloud.
