Spiritual Retrofitting

Spiritual Retrofitting
Admittedly there is only one foundation to the Christian life: Jesus Christ. He is the foundation upon which the apostles built and which we are called to be built as living stones.
But sometimes there is an earthquake of sorts and then spiritual retrofitting is necessary. I thought about this when I recalled the extensive retrofitting done to some buildings after the 1994 quake. They had not stood up to the shaking and so expense had to be gone to to retrofit them.
Where am I going with this?
Sometimes a spiritual earthquake strikes. If our foundation has any weaknesses, they will be revealed. Christ will never weaken, but perhaps the work we have built upon Him will be shown to need some spiritual retrofitting.
Let us be honest and go to the necessary expense in that event.
