Building Upon the Rock
Matthew 7:24
Therefore whoever hears these sayings of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, which built his house on a rock:…


1. True religion is likened to a man's own house. Every one's real life is his own home.

2. There are a few persons who are fond of looking at foundations, and questioning whether they rest on the right place; others make the far more vital mistake of not searching into them enough.

3. Foundations are found, after much search, in deep places; certain floating ideas about religion are not enough to build a life upon — such as "He is a kind God, and will not punish."

4. The Spirit of God shows a man the Rock.

(J. Vaughan, M. A.)
