"Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it." Matt. 7:24-27
The above passage is pretty much self-explanatory. For the believers, who have built their life's foundation on the Holy, Unchanging, promises of God, and follow Him, their lives will stand STRONG. For those non-believers, who have built their lives on the world that is constantly changing and constantly wicked, their lives will CRUMBLE. God says this world will not last forever, but Heaven will be forever. Thats not the point of this blog.
I like to watch Worship videos and other Christian videos on YOUTUBE and I become more intrigued at what I see in the comments section. There are Christians typing praises to God for helping them, how the theme of the video touched their lives, or how they enjoy the gifts God has given a particular artist. You would think a Christian video would be fully of Christianity. But there is another group that post on there. The non-believers, who are looking to stir the pot. Get Christians to argue so they can confuse those who are not solid in their faith. When I read the above passage, I thought about how these non-believers fit into it.
The non-believers are searching for something. They see Christians and how we live so securely, yet because they have built their lives on the world, they can't understand it. So, as humans do, they put pride in the way and attack those who are prosperous. You see all the time people who are successful how quickly the less successful people begin to try and find fault in them, to make them feel better. We Christians are prosperous, we have inherited the kingdom of God. We have it all! The non-believers do not. So what do the non-believers want to do, they start finding the faults, to find that happy place for themselves. Sadly for them, as the above passage says, unless they build their lives upon the foundation of Christ, their lives will be forever crumbling, because the world will continue to change and rot away.
We as Christians need to continue to be strong in the foundation of Christ, those who are becoming believers need to see the strength of God's foundation. The more these non-believers see it, the more they will come to believe. We know not all will accept Christ, but we must believe that they will. Never know who you might see come to Christ!
Don't know if this rambling makes sense, but it does to me. Maybe it was meant for me!
