The Wise and Foolish Builder.
Matthew 7:24
1.
Both are building a house.

Both are building a house.
(Cp.
.)
When I lived in Tucson, we started looking at some newer houses (Mom was in the process of deciding whether to buy her brother’s house, instead of renting it from him or to completely get a new house).
We would spend most Saturdays looking at the new housing subdivisions and the various floor plan options on each slab.
Having lived there for a couple of years, we knew one area that was being built up was definitely one that we didn’t want…it was built on a landfill area and not all that long ago (when we lived there).
Many houses in the area (since then) has had tremendous foundation problems.
You have to have a solid foundation!
2. Both choose a foundation: there is one supreme difference—the foundation.
3.
Both experience rains, floods, and winds beating upon their house.

• disappointment
• disease
• emotions that are out of control
• tension
• poverty
• pain
• rejection
• accidents
• handicaps
• complaints
• mistreatment
• pressure
• misunderstanding
• doubt
• gossip
• hospitalization
• temptations
• failure
• loss
• abuse
• death
4. Both heard the instructions.
a.
One heard and obeyed: experienced a great deliverance.

b.
One heard and did not obey: experienced a great fall.

He hears the instructions of the Master Builder.
That means that he is in the church and he has some Christian influence from someplace.
He receives the seed, the Word,
He is in a most dangerous position.
He knows HOW to build, but he chooses not to build according to instructions.
I’ve stood on the coastline of the Pacific Ocean and felt the sand beneath my feet “fall away” with the outgoing waves.
Granted that that is a very minor versions of the constant barrage of waves upon the shore, but it didn’t take long to figure out that sand isn’t nearly as stable as standing on a boulder on the same shore.
There is no middle ground: either we build on a solid foundation or we don’t.
We will not neither can we find lasting joy in things that we know will not last.
Let’s build on a foundation that will last for all of eternity.
