Some Texas homeowners are literally standing on the promises of God.
That's because every home built by Possibility Custom Homes has a Bible encased in its concrete foundation.
James Wallace said he and co-owner Andy Eckert believed that if they built their company on a godly foundation, then God would bless it.
Building homes with a Bible in the foundation isn't something they advertise, but they don't hide it either. Wallace said they explain to buyers why they do it and so far haven't run into any opposition. But if someone were opposed, he said they wouldn't do it.
Eckert said, "We don't force our beliefs on anybody."
Of course, if this was a Koran, the Lib media would accuse them of Koran Abuse and demand an investigation.
Interesting symbolism. I will assume it isn't superstition.

We put some of our products into our building foundations, software group has our software package in the new software building...
This is idolatry.
And by the way, Christ is the solid rock, not the Word.
Christ speaks to us through the Word, but the Word is not the source of life. He is.
Nice intentions I suppose, but what good is a Bible you can't read? I would rather they donate those Bibles to someone who doesn't own one.
Build on solid rock. What a great idea.
Standing On The Promises of God.
Sounds like an Ad gimmick-- the value is not in having a Bible in the foundation of a home but the foundation of ones heart.IF there is a Bible in ahome that is never studied and applied then it is of no value at all.And that seems true of too many American homes already given the
Barna Research et all.
Better than what those mafia construction companies put in the concrete.
Well it beats all of the beer cans and broken tools that my old man and his buddies left in the walls when he built his garage.
There used to be a "Glory to God" auto repair shop in Hillsdale Michigan.
Put in a ham sandwich or a slab of bacon too and don't tell until after the new owner moves in.
Different cultures, different idols...
Incidentally, if someone did this with the Koran it would be taken as a grave insult by all of Islam.
1) feet are dirty
2) you can't place yourself above God, especially not to walk on him.
I'm actually agnostic, but even I think its a little insensitive (without meaning to be so) to have people walking around on top of your holy book.
