Weak Foundation Virus

Computer viruses are small software programs that are designed to spread from one computer to another and to interfere with computer operation. A “Spiritual” virus, when downloaded, can make us unfriendly, unforgiving, unfaithful, or unfruitful.

Matthew 7:24-27  “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.  The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

Weak Foundation virus!

Definition:  “Structural integrity assures that the construction will perform its designed function, during reasonable use, for as long as the designed life of the structure. Items are constructed with structural integrity to ensure that catastrophic failure does not occur, which can result in injuries, severe damage, death, or monetary losses.”

Here we have two builders, two foundations, and one storm.  The first builder is considered foolish, because he built his house on sand.  Sand is not stable, it shifts, it moves, and changes.  The second builder is considered wise, because he built his house on rock.  Rock is strong, is fixed, and is resilient.

Build upon the “Solid Rock”!  All other ground is “Sinking sand”!
