Lives on Shifting Sand

‘Jesus is calling the bluff of the religious. He says, why play this game? Why call me Lord as if you care who I am or what I want when you don’t bother really knowing me or doing what I say’.

And then Jesus tells the story about the builders and their two houses. The homes they build represent their lives–their beliefs, convictions, aspirations, and choices.

Jesus is telling us that there are stable and unstable foundations on which to construct our lives. Regardless of our intentions, it’s possible to base our confidence and trust–the very footing of our lives–on what is insecure and faulty. On shifting sand.
