Reading: Matthew 7:21-27; 2 Timothy 4:3-4

Devotional: Jesus warned that many would build impressive structures without Him as the foundation. When churches remove Christ to stay culturally relevant, several shifts occur: moral confusion replaces clarity, self-help replaces salvation, membership replaces discipleship, and silence replaces prophetic voice. The church becomes a reflection of the world rather than a contrast to it. This isn't about perfection—it's about submission. A church may struggle and need correction, but if Christ remains the cornerstone, repentance restores alignment. However, when truth is abandoned, authority is withdrawn. Examine your spiritual community: Is Jesus still central? Is Scripture still authoritative? Is holiness still pursued? If drift has occurred, today is the day for corporate and personal realignment. Return to the cornerstone.
