Solid Ground in a Shifting World
By Bill Markham
Some things are beautiful—but they don’t last. Stand at the edge of the ocean and you’ll see it: children building sandcastles, only to have the tide wash them away by morning. It’s a picture of what happens when we build our lives on shifting opinions, emotions, or trends—on anything other than Jesus.
In a world where cultural tides constantly beat against who we were created to be, Peter gives us something trustworthy: “Come to Him [Jesus], the Living Stone… a chosen and precious cornerstone… the one who trusts in Him will never be put to shame” (1 Peter 2:4–6).
In ancient architecture, the cornerstone wasn’t just symbolic—it was essential. It set the direction and alignment for the entire structure. Without it, everything crumbled. Jesus is that cornerstone—firm and unchanging in a world of collapsing ideologies and uncertain worldviews.
But He is more than our foundation. Jesus is our guiding truth—the One who keeps us aligned in a crooked world. His words don’t just inspire; they reorient. They call us to live by conviction, not convenience. And Jesus is our living truth—not a concept to discuss, but a Person to follow. He is the active ingredient in every decision, every relationship, every act of love. In a dark and shifting world, those who build their lives on Him become like a lighthouse—anchored in the storm, shining hope to those still caught in the waves.
Truth isn’t an opinion. It’s a Person. His name is Jesus.
