“Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you? Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. But the one who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the stream broke against it, immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.” (Luke 6:46-49 ESV)
Never in history have we been able to listen so much - radio, tv, web, ebooks, and never have their been so many collapsed lives. Why? We listen and listen and listen, and do no obey. It really is like building a house - one block of obedience at a time to build a strong foundation for a life characterized by obedience. How many of us, how often, should be listening to hear the question that begins this passage?
