Luke 6:46-49
Several yrs. ago, a prominent Canadian developer built a subdivision in the suburbs of Toronto. Apparently, the lots sold quickly and were built on even quicker - for when the next winter arrived w/ the rain, sleet, and snow, one house after another collapsed into sinkholes. Under pressure, the developer confessed the subdivision had been built over a landfill. Instead of bringing in good fill dirt to prepare good foundations, he simply built on top of the garbage.

''Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say? As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they're like. They are like a man building a house who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the floodwaters struck the house but could not shake it, b/c it was well built. But the one who hears my words and doesn't put them into practice is li ...
