Why “Fireproof” Churches Matter in 2026
As we navigate 2026, the cultural winds are fiercer than ever. For many local churches, the pressure to conform, to compromise, or to simply "give up" is immense. But the call of 1 Corinthians remains: to build something that endures.
A "Fireproof" church isn't one that never faces trouble; it’s one that has been built with materials that cannot be consumed by the flames of cultural pressure or internal strife.
Three Pillars of an Enduring Church:
- Biblical Unity: Not a unity based on "agreeing to disagree," but a unity grounded in the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
- Steadfast Integrity: A commitment to holiness even when it’s unpopular or "outdated."
- Unwavering Mission: Keeping the main thing the main thing—the preaching of the Gospel.
In the final chapter of 1 Corinthians, Paul leaves us with a blueprint for this kind of endurance: “Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. Let all your things be done with charity.”
