JESUS TEACHES ABOUT THOSE WHO BUILD HOUSES ON ROCK OR SAND
	Not all who sound religious are really godly people. They may refer to Me as 'Lord,' but still won't get into heaven. For the decisive ques-tion is whether they obey My Father in heaven. At the judgment many will tell Me, 'Lord, Lord, we told others about You and used Your Name to cast out demons and to do many other great mira-cles.' But I will reply, 'You have never been Mine. Go away, for your deeds are evil.' All who listen to My instructions and follow them are wise, like a man who builds his house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents, and the floods rise and the storm winds beat against the house, it won't collapse, for it is built on rock! But those who hear My instructions and ignore them are foolish, like a man who builds his house on sand. For when the rain and floods come, and storm winds beat against his house, it will fall with a mighty crash. The crowds were amazed at Jesus' sermons, for He taught as one Who had great authority, and not as their Jewish leaders. (Matthew 7:21-28, Life Application Bible).
