Building on a rock

Summary of my thoughts: I think the people who will be turned away are the ones who "go through the motions" without any foundation or depth. The man that builds his house on the Rock has a steady foundation; his house can withstand hurricane winds. We have the choice and option to be that man, to dig deeply in the Father's Word and base our faith in Him. With God as our support system, we are infallible. I think this also points to the fact that the "house" itself does not factor into its strength. Without a foundation, a 100-bedroom mansion may be leveled to the ground with a breeze, but with a foundation, a modest 2-room home may weather any storm. We have to be deep people on the inside.
"How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers! But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season and its leaf does not wither; and in whatever he does, he prospers." Psalm 1:1-3.
