Two Men, Two Houses
Jesus' parable of the wise man and the foolish man calls for us to examine ourselves carefully to see if we are truly building on the Rock, or upon sand.

The Christian need not grieve as the world does when death strikes. As Thomas Brooks put it so long ago, The Christian's Dying Day is His Best Day.
Christ has ascended back to the glory He had with the Father from all eternity. His ascension was His coronation day and now He reigns as King of kings and Lord of lords. And we His people reign with Him.
We must take care not to be deceived and led astray by another Jesus. We must hold fast to the Head of the true church and always look at Him who is the author of our faith.
We must take up our cross and die to self if we are going to follow Christ. Many if not most professing Christians are still deifying self, propping up that false god's image and living in terror that he be exposed for what he really is.
We are living in days of increasing deception by Satan. The Roman Catholic church is one of his masterpieces. Christ's true sheep know His voice, recognize His true Word, and refuse to follow a false Christ or a false church.
