During the Living Epistle Project Radio Program live on the Power of Worship Radio! We discussed "That beautiful house on the sand."
Today we see many "talented" people in the church with great spiritual skills. But as time pass or when push comes to shove, they don't side with God's word.
Let us examine ourselves to make sure our beautiful house is not built on sand but on the rock.
"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. 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.
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. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."Matthew 7:24-27
Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you--unless, of course, you fail the test? 2 Corinthians 13:5
See Matthew 13:24-30 for the parable of the sower/the wheat and the tares.
See the story of Judas Iscariot in the Bible. He had skills. He was the treasurer of Jesus' ministry and we know how his story ended.
