## Resource

Which came first: the chicken or the egg? Which comes first: the foundation or the building? The spirit of these two questions is the same, and they are not mysteries. Yet, there are people today who will argue it's the egg that came first. Any builder will tell you that if you're going to build a house or building of any size, you must first have a firm, complete, finished foundation BEFORE you build your house or building. Otherwise, the house and building will surely fall. So, which comes first: the foundation or the building? Join me in today's episode as we go on a journey through Scripture and dig out this foundational truth.
