My friend, Joe, was in South Carolina when a hurricane approached. It ultimately passed by with high winds, but little damage.
However, Joe was surprised to see a huge oak tree down in the road. As he examined the tree, he discovered that the inside was hollow!
Joe later learned that many large oak trees look formidable, but they’re hollow inside. It doesn’t take much wind to blow them over.
The church is similar. Our Biblical illiteracy is destroying us from the inside out.
In Matthew 7:26, Jesus said, “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.”
If you want a strong foundation for your work, learn and model God’s Word.
