Matthew 7:26

The House on the Rock

25The rain fell, the torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because its foundation was on the rock.26But everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.27The rain fell, the torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell—and great was its collapse!”
