Rock or Sand

I believe that it is safe to say that we live in a world that is full of various ideas, opinions, concepts, and even the definition of truth. I understand that ideas, opinions, concepts, etc. have a definite role to play in our culture which is an important part of any era of civilization. But I am concerned when I see these ideas, opinions, concepts, etc. began to exert influence over our understanding of Truth. 

We live in a world in which people are being influenced, guided, directed, etc.by everything but the Truth of God's Word. The Bible has been identified as "out of date and out of touch" with the mainstream of society. Is it possible that mainstream society could be "out of touch" with God and His Word? 

Jesus taught us that it is important on which foundation we are building our lives. I would like to encourage you to read the words of Jesus found in Matthew 7. Jesus gives us an in depth teaching explaining the difference in building our house (life) on a rock or on sand. One house will stand and the other will fall.I can give you the Truth that Jesus spoke but it might be better if you took the time to read the lesson that Jesus shared. 

I will share my answer through the words of The Solid Rock. This song was written by Edward Mote.

1.      My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

o    Refrain:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.

2.      When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.

3.      His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.

4.      When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
