Publisher's Synopsis
In His concluding words of the Sermon on the Mount, found in Matthew 7:24-27, Jesus Christ tells a parable (a glossary of terms in italics is found at the end of the book) about two house builders. The first builder is obedient, follows instructions, and builds his house on a solid rock foundation. The second builder is disobedient, does not follow instructions, and builds his house on a sandy foundation. When a storm comes, the house on the sandy foundation does not survive; however, the house built on the rock foundation does survive. A Christian's faith should be like the first builder who built a house on a solid rock foundation, not like the second builder that built a house on a sandy foundation. It has been my experience that many Christians, in both interdenominational and denominational churches that I have served, have not built their faith on a strong foundation. They are the, "Many that will say to [Him] on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?'
