Luke 6:49 But he who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation; against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great."

If that is not the truth! Oh Lord forgive me for my revolving sin and commit me to change for the better and set out to do only what you commandeth.. Amen

This challenges us not to live the "double life" as it were.... When the Lord Jesus says this, He is challenging our hearts and saying why do we follow His will on a Sunday but not during the rest of the week? Thats how I see it anywayz, really challenging!!

IF HE IS REALLY LORD OF YOUR LIFE, YOU WILL WANT TO DO WHAT HE TELLS YOU,AND SERVE HIM WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT,THERE WILL BE MANY PEOPLE THAT WILL ONE DAY,SAY, BUT LORD DIDN'T I DO THIS AND THAT IN YOUR NAME, AND HE WILL SAY DEPART FROM ME ,I NEVER KNEW YOU,HE SAYS YOUR LIPS SAY YOU LOVE ME, BUT YOUR HEART IS FAR FROM ME .THE WORD SAYS IF YOU LOVE ME, YOU WILL KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS, AND ONE OF THOSE IS THAT YOU LOVE ONE ANOTHER.THERE IS A LOT OF THINGS THAT YOU COULD SAY, BUT GOD KNOWS ,EACH OF OUR HEARTS,AND HE KNOWS ALL THOSE THAT HAVE REALLY TRUSTED HIM AS THEIR SAVIOR AND LORD.

ON CHRIST THE SOLID ROCK I STAND....
What a wonderful teacher Jesus is! Whenever He wants His hearers to understand a lesson, He uses everyday experiences to explain His truth. The crowds had gathered around but Jesus looked straight at His disciples and began to teach them. I am sure the crowd were following His teaching as well....wouldn't you? He was saying to them that they should not call Him Lord, if they were not prepared to do whatever He was telling them to do. What does a person look like who does what Jesus commands? Jesus tells them about two builders - one who lays a solid foundation and one who builds with no foundation. We are to be like those who build on a solid foundation - a foundation firmly entrenched in the Word of God. We should not be content with the 'milk of the Word' but rather to devour the 'meat of God's Word'. Only then, will we truly know what God requires of us as to how we should live, and only then will we be able to weather the storms of life and remain firm and steadfast in our faith. The question we need to ask ourselves is, "Am I building my life on Jesus, the Rock, or am I going to sink when the storms of life engulf me?" Let us make every effort to grow into maturity in Christ.

im sorry Lord plz forgive me

Obedient is the key to breathrough in prayers.

we go to church, we may even sing in the choir, serve as one of the members but if we cannot commit to him in all things, then it is a shame, he will say he does not know us.

This is a harsh reality. We all want the blessings, but want to follow the beat of our own drum. This is a great verse to meditate on and look introspectively into what we are doing as Christians.

We call on Jesus and expect him to answer us, but we don't want to follow Him. Why should we expect Jesus to do our bidding when we won't do His bidding? It is a narrow road and hard to stay on.

God, please help us to do what you have told us and not what is "easy." Let us do what is right even if we are laughed at or condemned. Help me to continue to change, forgive me when I stumble and help me as I try to walk close with you.

Man would rather do almost anything else than surrender himself to God. His natural mind rebels at the thought of submitting to God's law. Therefore men have substituted their own laws and customs for God's commandments, thinking they can still receive salvation by only believing in Christ as their Savior.

Mark 7:7-9
They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men. "You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men." And he said to them: "You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions!"

Our actions are an outpouring of what is in our hearts. If we do not do what God tells us to do, then do we really take His Word to heart? And if we do not take His Word to heart, then do we really love Him?

Boy doesn't that get us thinking? How many of us caught ourselves saying or thinking this. Its kind of what Jesus says to us eachday if we choose to listen " I have called you my child to do a work for Me, why do you not do as I ask"

So very convicting.....

The Son of man is lord of the Sabbath

Our preacher preached a sermon on this a couple of weeks ago!!! It was good!!!1

It's time to listen.

Oh my God,I love this...

cos i'm a sinner and i need you to forgive me for my sins, thats why i'm calling on you my Lord

How true! Well said----my Lord! Many times have I not walked with Him only to have Him tell me exactly that! What a comfort to know He sees through us like a piece of glass but loves us so much to chastise us in such a manner! Only a father who loves His children would care enough to point out their falacies in such a loving kind manner but with the seriousness and power of a GOD!

Can't break this down any further - short and sweet....WHY?
