The Wise and Foolish Builders
24 “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. 25 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. 26 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. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”
28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching,
“God’s not looking for agreeable minds- but obedient hearts.” Pastor Greg Groeschel
Every day we don’t make a decision for only Jesus, we’ve in fact made a decision
How the obedient heart drifts away from God
- Stopping personal prayer and devotional time
- Stop giving financially to the Lord
- Stop attending weekly worship/church
- (and it usually happens in that order)
My victory is found in Jesus… “Lord, I am going all in.”
