Opis

The signs of the last days are similar to what we see and experience when a storm is approaching. As clouds appear on the horizon an uneasy feeling begins to rise as ominous darkness approaches. Our senses confirm that a storm is imminent as we witness flashes of lightening, followed by the sound and feeling of reverberating thunder. Our thoughts soon transition to concern and safety as we determine what to do and where to go to avoid harm. Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash. Matthew 7:24-27 Jesus Christ used a parable of two builders to convey the importance of hearing God's Word and changing our behavior. Each person is the builder of their own house and has the choice of which foundation to build upon. At one end of the spectrum is solid rock (Jesus Christ), the other is soft sand (the world). The rain, rising streams and wind represent difficult and perilous times. Each person who builds their foundation upon Jesus Christ will be able to withstand day-to-day trials in life. But what is more important - they will be able to withstand the "stormier" days ahead. However, those who build their foundation on sand will be overtaken and destroyed by the "torrential rains," "flooding waters" and "tornadic winds" of the last days. Foundation is comprised of Biblically-based key foundational principles for Christian living...but more important...lay the groundwork for an eternal life in Heaven. It is written in a manner that is engaging, easy-to-read, and appropriate for all persons - including those that do not know Jesus Christ.
