“Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell. Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them” (Proverbs 5:5-6 KJV).
Don’t try to figure her ways out. Don’t try to figure out evolution—evolutionists can’t figure it out. They are still trying to find the missing link. You can’t pin sin down. “A double minded man is unstable in all his ways” (James 1:8). Now, you can pin the Bible down—it will tell you straight. Sin is a whole lot like a mirage, just about the time you think you understand it, it changes its shape, it disappears. The ways of sin are moveable. Oh, the Devil will make you all kinds of promises—but he won’t keep one of them. There is no foundation to them.
The Lord said that if a man would build his house upon the sand, it would fall. And He makes a statement there in Matthew about that thing that a lot of people don’t realize: “And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it” (Matthew 7:27 KJV). Do you see that? “GREAT was the fall of it.” The sad thing about messing your life up is how many other people you mess up in your house as well.
One man dies. One man goes to hell. But if that one man was a false teacher of the Bible—that one man deceived other people into believing his heretical philosophy of the Word and of life—it is not only him that is destroyed eternally, but many others that followed him. How great are the multitudes that followed men like Joseph Smith or Judge Rutherford into a Christless eternity? How many are they that followed Mary Baker Eddy or Ellen G. White into the Devil’s hell because they built their houses on the foundation of their cultic teachings.
Dad, where will your children spend eternity if you are not building your house on the solid foundation of Jesus Christ and His perfect Word? If you are not living right, you should be up at night in a state of fear until you settle this thing. Don’t let your house have a GREAT fall!
GREAT was the fall of it,” all the servants, all the guests, all the family—everybody went down with the house when the house went down.
An orthopedic surgeon was moving to a new office with the help of his staff. One of the nurses sat the display skeleton in the front of her car, a bony arm across the back of the seat.
On the drive across town, she stopped at a traffic light, and the stares of the people in the neighboring car compelled her to roll down her window and yell, “I’m delivering him to my doctor’s office.”
The other driver yelled back, “Lady, I think it’s already too late!”
