Monday, November 17, the study focused on Luke Delphine c. 6 (43.49). We were a dozen people and the exchanges were numerous. This short passage it is very rich and contains two parables: the parable of the tree and its fruit and the parable of two houses .
6.46
Why do you call Me 'Lord, Lord! " and do not you do what I say?
6.47
I'll show you what he is like every man who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice.
6.48
It is like a man who building a house, dug, dug deep , and laid the foundation on the rock . A flood arose, the stream broke against that house, could not shake it, because it was well built.
6.49
But he who hears and does not practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The stream broke against it, immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.
The parable of the two companies said, using 2 different homes, the importance of building his house (life) on a solid foundation so that it can withstand "flood". Thus, if one seeks the meaning of this parable, we can link these foundations with the importance of putting into practice what the Bible says in our lives to make them completely fulfilling. Put the Word of God into practice allows us to behave differently, to approach life differently than if we simply just read the Bible without realizing what it offers for our lives. A man who does not practice the Word of God to move away or feel less safe when there will be challenges, obstacles. This passage explains that put into practice the Word allows us to be stronger to face difficulties because God sustains us. While the foundations of the Christian God who put into practice are important but they talk every day.

The enforcement issue was: how do we use the 2 houses to talk about our faith to people who do not have God in their lives?
