Building A Solid Foundation

Just as the foundation or footings of a building need to be solid and well laid in order to withstand the load exerted on it by the building, so it is true in the spiritual sense. Luke's account of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, ends with Jesus telling the parable of the two builders. As he does, we see the builder who believed and obeyed Jesus and whose foundation goes back to the 'Rock', their house withstands the flood. The builder who believed Jesus, but did not obey and whose foundation did not go back to the 'Rock', inevitably their house fell in the flood. The challenge here is how deep is your foundation? And does it go back to the 'Rock' who is Jesus and His teachings?
