During the housing market craze many homebuyers were faced with bidding on homes that had multiple offers. In order to have an advantage and an attractive offer many bought homes without a home inspection. How sad it was when some found out that their home had foundation issues.

As a child, we sang the song, “The Wise Man Built His House Upon a Rock.” The song is based on Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 7:24-27. I didn’t understand it at the time. It basically is stating that in this world, we will encounter many challenges. Our foundation determines how we persevere during those times. Just like a house with a bad foundation; a relationship not built upon The Rock will not last. Let’s not end up like the homeowners who are faced with knowing that the foundation on which their home is built will not last.

Just like a house with a bad foundation; a relationship not built upon The Rock will not last.”

We can rest assured that if our foundation is built on the True Rock, Jesus Christ we will be able to endure. As church, it is imperative that all we do is centered around Christ. Though Satan may throw his fiery darts; as believers we can stand if our foundation is solid. The sure foundation for Christians is not just hearing the words of Christ but actually doing it. This way we know our foundation is solid.
