Building Your House

 

   

Matt 7:24-27

 

"Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:  25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

26 "But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand:  27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall."

NKJV

 

The statistics are staggering. I read an article today that stated that 50% of all first-time marriages, 67% of second marriages, and 74% of third marriages end in divorce.   This provides a bleak view for the future of most of our homes.  Perhaps that is why fewer people are choosing marriage and opting instead, for live-in relationships.  But does that really prevent the perceived threat of being hurt and rejected? Not at all.  Rather, it will likely result in shattered people with even more baggage to bring into marriage.  With those odds, what can we do to protect our homes?
