Last sunday we had a Bible study on Matthew 7:24-29 about the wise man and the foolish man each building his house on the rock and sand respectively. well before we go into our groups to discuss some question we play with some "lego", each team is suppose to build the highest tower with the given lego in 10min that could withstand the shooting from other teams with rubber band..... as usual some always play out of the rules when it comes to competition. we did had some nice and firm and tall towers at the end. This parable that Jesus use teach us that....House = Life
Storm = Trials, challenges, troubles, temptation in life
Wise man = Those who hear God's word and do it
Foolish man = those who hear God's word but did not do it
Rock foundation = strong & stable
Sand foundation = weak & shaky
Therefore we must build our life on the foundation of God's word by obeying and following it not just hearing and knowing it. we will be like hypocrite if we say we know the word of God but does not put it into practice. we may seem like a strong Christian with all the knowledge about the Bible but our real strength and faith in God will show when trials and temptation comes our way, will we fall or will we stand? So let's be a real, strong and wise follower of Christ by doing what he command us to.
