Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness. (Colossians 2:7 NLT)
False doctrine, extreme suffering, hard questions, skeptical unbelief, and so much more regularly challenge our faith. Only those who are firmly rooted in Jesus Christ can survive the things thrown at them by this fallen world. A growing understanding of God's Word and an ever deepening walk with Christ enable us to stand firm when others are as unstable as a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
