Building on a Rock

  Today my sermon in a song is one of my all time favorites.  It is Sandi Patti singing "Upon This Rock."  I love this song.  Everytime I hear it  I can feel the presence of God sweeping over me and I feel like Popeye when he eats that can of spinach.  I don't know about you....but why would anyone build a foundation on sand?  I mean...come on.   I grew up in South Florida and I know first hand what happens when you build your house on sand......yep...it sinks!   I had a friend once, her name was Sarah...she and her husband lived in a condo on Lake Worth....when the builders dredged the land....they did not let it season.....and two years after moving into her new condo....they found themselves in a mess, in the middle of a major lawsuit all because the place was sinking.  In Matthew 7:24-27 Jesus warns us about this and still today there are people who will not listen.  Get with the program folks.  If you want a firm foundation....you have got to build on rock. 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.”



The songs speaks for itself....so all I have left to say is.....And all the people said......AMEN!  Have a blessed Sunday!
