Wasn't there a parable in the Bible about the man who built his house upon a rock and the man who built his house upon the sand?
Yes indeed. A parable a lot of people in Florida are going to remember. This is one verse that definitely sounds best in the KJV. Matthew 7:25-27.
And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
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.
