This Week's Readings:
Matthew 7:24-27 (NIV)
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.
25The
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.
26But
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.
27The
rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that
house, and it fell with a great crash.”
