The church represents the pillar and foundation of truth because the church is the means that God has appointed for upholding the truth in this world – the church is the outlet of God's truth in this world, therefore, if you take if you take the church away, you take the truth away. For the church to be an effective pillar it needs to be and effective family, and as we become a better family we will find that the church will have far more credibility to the world.
