MOUNT FUJI FLYBY Two Marine Corps helicopters, an AH-1Z Viper and UH-1Y Venom, fly past Mount Fuji, Shizuoka, Japan, March 12, 2017. The helicopters are assigned to Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 267, which is supporting Marine Aircraft Group 36, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing and 3rd Marine Expeditionary Force. The Marines validated the long-range capability of auxiliary fuel tanks on their H-1 platform helicopters by flying 314 nautical miles during one leg of the four-day mission. The extended range is crucial to maintaining a stronger, more capable forward-deployed force in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Andy Martinez

The House on the Rock
August 30, 2018
When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.
Luke 6:48
After living in their house for several years, my friends realized that their living room was sinkingcracks appeared on the walls and a window would no longer open. They learned that this room had been added without a foundation. Rectifying the shoddy workmanship would mean months of work as builders laid a new foundation.
They had the work done, and when I visited them afterwards, I couldnt see much difference (although the cracks were gone and now the window opened). But I understood that a solid foundation matters.
This is true in our lives as well.
Jesus shared a parable about wise and foolish builders to illustrate the folly of not listening to Him (Luke 6:4649). Those who hear and obey His words are like the person who builds a house on a firm foundation, unlike those who hear but ignore His words. Jesus assured His listeners that when the storms come, their house would stand. Their faith would not be shaken.
We can find peace knowing that as we listen to and obey Jesus, He forms a strong foundation for our lives. We can strengthen our love for Him through reading the Bible, praying, and learning from other Christians. Then when we face the torrents of rain lashing against uswhether betrayal, pain, or disappointmentwe can trust that our foundation is solid. Our Savior will provide the support we need.
Lord God, I want to build my house on a rock. Help me to know that my solid foundation rests in You, with Your Word giving me wisdom and strength.
Hearing and obeying Jesus gives our lives a strong foundation.
In the parable about the wise and foolish builders, Jesus isnt teaching that we can be saved by our good works. Rather, because we are saved, we will do good workswe will obey Gods Word. The apostle Paul, using the same metaphor of a solid foundation, makes it clear that no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 3:11). Anyone who builds on that foundation may use a variety of materialsgold, silver, jewels, wood, hay, or straw. But on the judgment day, fire will reveal what kind of work each builder has done.
We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. But, as theologian John Calvin reminded us, We are saved by faith alone, but the faith that saves is never alone (see Ephesians 2:10; Titus 2:14; 3:8, 14).
How have you, through the power of the Holy Spirit, been building on the solid foundation we have in Jesus?

Good evening, Pro....it’s hump day. Hope work went well today.
We’ve had sunshine all day today. Maybe some rain tomorrow and then maybe a week of sunshine and no rain. I am happy we have now received the rain we NEED for the season.
