Don't watch the house fall

Friday, June 6th, Matthew 7, Don't watch the house fall : 24 Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. It takes the combination of hearing and doing, not just the hearing only or the doing only. It is in our doing, that the way we hear is changed. It is in our hearing, that the way we do is changed. Liberation theologians call that “praxis”. As you go through this life, make sure you build a firm foundation. As you go through this life, help provide a firm foundation for others, especially the children. One of the saddest sights to me is to watch the adults drop off their children for Sunday School and then drive off only to come back latter either for church or to pick them up. Their message is do this, but remember it is not important. The kids get the message and someday they will either have to shore up the foundation for themselves or watch the house fall over. You can help them build that foundation now and it will be better for both of you.
