Are we foolish or are we wise? The answer is probably "yes" -- at one time or another. In Matthew 27, Jesus shares the story of two men who built houses, the wise one who built his house on the rock, and the foolish one who built his house on the sand. With a strong foundation built on the Word of God, we are equipped to handle the difficulties life will inevitably bring us. The Reformation was a rediscovery of the importance of this foundation: To God's Word Alone! How does the Bible describe the Word of God? The Bible is not a book of rules to live by, but instead is the story of God rescuing His people, to make us wise to the gift of salvation. If you want to be wise, spend time reading the Bible and getting into God's Word. Pastor David Moerbe shares this week's message from Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Gardendale, Ala.
