Stormproof Your Soul

Catastrophes can be awful but they are so much more gut wrenching when they are the results of warnings which were ignored. In this text, Jesus warns his listeners of the coming storm of God's final judgment which can only be survived by relying completely on Jesus himself. To hear these words and act upon them is to trust Christ and obey him as Lord. We must stake our lives upon him and make him the center of life itself. Those who center their lives or stake their lives on anything or anyone else will find that it is all sand which washes and wears away.
