A Lesson on Construction

You are building a house...are you wise or are you foolish?

Matthew 7:24-29
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

There are two classes of people among those reading this:
A. Those that hear and do: “whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them”
B. Those that hear and don’t do: “every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not”

1) We are all building a house “whosoever heareth these sayings of mine”
Here are some ways that we hear the sayings of the Lord:
Your friend's blog
Personal devotions
Parents
Pastor
Radio
Sunday School

2) Some builders are wise - Those that hear and do
“I will liken him unto a wise man”

3) Some builders are foolish - Those that hear and don't do
“shall be likened unto a foolish man”

You are building a house...are you wise or are you foolish?

James 1:22
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
