“BUILDING ON SHAKY GROUND”
I am reading in large print on page A 20 in the paper. (Saturday, March 19, 2011 Weekend Herald)
It’s all about the damage the earthquake caused in Christchurch, the structural problems and the liquefaction ground. In the paper I read, “Engineers say what is needed is foundations which can move with the shake.”
In Luke chapter six at the end we are reading about the Wise Builder and the Foolish Builder. (Luke 6:46-49)
The Wise Builder does three things:
1. He comes to the Lord Jesus Christ.
2. He hears the Word of the Lord.
3. He puts the Words of the Lord into practice.
The Lord Jesus Christ is our rock.
David says in Psalm 18:2 “The Lord is my rock,..” Read also: Psalm 19:14; Psalm 40:2; Psalm 61:2; Psalm 92:15.
Are you familiar with the hymn “Rock of ages, cleft for me,…” by Augustus M. Toplady?
Here is the first verse:
“Rock of ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in Thee;
let the water and the blood, from Thy wounded side which flowed,
be of sin the double cure, save from wrath and make me pure.”
The apostle Paul says in his first letter to the church at Corinth:
“FOR NO ONE CAN LAY ANY FOUNDATION OTHER THAN THE ONE ALREADY LAID WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST.”
First Corinthians 3:11
This morning I ran into two Jehovah’s Witnesses on our street and talked to them.
If you want to know what I told them, read more posts on this blog!
I think the book which has changed the most lives is the Bible, the Word of the Living God!
The BIBLE has changed my life!
