About The Wise and Foolish Builders
In one of Jesus's most beloved parables, two men each build a house — one on solid rock, one on shifting sand. When the rains pour down and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat fiercely against both houses, only one still stands. The parable closes with quiet power: the difference between the two builders was not skill or effort, but whether they heard his words and obeyed them.
