Did you know that the United States Constitution is the shortest and oldest written constitution still in use by any nation in the world today?

Why do you do what you do?  Say what you say?  Live how you live? 
What would you state is YOUR foundation for all of the above? 

(Foundation: the basis or groundwork of anything.)

Before interviewing and eventually moving to Pitman, I had never been to Philadelphia, PA.  I had never seen the Liberty Bell, visited Independence Hall, or been so close to the Constitutional history of our United States!  And even though it was just a “copy”, I had never read the Preamble to our Constitution in such historic atmosphere:

“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

The U.S. Constitution was written and adopted to be foundational to how our United States operates.
Now, what’s foundational to how you operate? 

I am thankful for the Constitution, and so thankful to be an American.  However, my personal foundation for why I do what I do, say what I say, and live how I live – is not based on the Constitution of the United States or even being an American citizen!

My foundation is Jesus Christ and Him alone! 

Listen to God’s preface or “preamble” through the Apostle Paul – “For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 3:11).” 

NOW THAT’S FOUNDATIONAL! 

God is good!  Mr. Steve
