Built on the Rock
Saturday, February 9, 2019 It just seems that storms and life go together. There is no place on earth where God’s people can be free—completely free—from the stress, pressure, trouble or pain that sin’s
consequences bring. And escaping the torrents of temptation, the gusts of guilt, and the currents which carry even the strongest man off his moral moorings is only a dream. . . a fantasy. Our need, therefore, is not to think of ways to get away from the storms but to learn the secret of going through them. In some of the final words Jesus spoke in His immortal Sermon on the Mount, Jesus used a vivid word picture of two houses, built on opposite foundations. From this familiar illustration, we can learn the secret of an unshakeable life…BUILT ON THE ROCK. |
