If the Foundations Be Destroyed (Psalm 11:3)

If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? (Psalm 11:3)

The enemy tries to destroy the foundations of anything righteous. This is how they “bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart” (Psalm 11:2), by assaulting righteous foundations. This includes the last 200 years of undermining Biblical authority, the dismissing of Genesis even by Christian people, and the erosion of Christian institutions in western society. While the U.S. is not what I would call a Christian country, there has been a lot of Christian influence in our culture.

What we can do is continue to stand on Biblical authority, learn from the Bible’s foundation in Genesis, and both speak and walk publicly as Christians. It is difficult when the world keeps firing arrows, and we stumble and fall because we adapt to the lies we continually hear. Christ is risen. The victory is ours. We must walk in it.
