Therefore he whoever hears these words and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock

The theme this year was a really hard choice to make. When it came down to the final two I had to make a choice, and that choice was built on the rock. The theme this year set a goal for me. Be built on the rock and you will never fall away.

The theme this year means to me, as an eighth grader, that we need to be built on the rock. We need him more than anything in the world and if we don’t have him we will be like the sandy house. The rain came down, (people encouraged you to something else), the streams rose, (it became a habit to not go to church or to read your bible), and the winds blew and beat against that house, (they tore your faith down), and that house fell down. I think that it is important to have your own relationship with God, and to do kind things. If your friend falls, pick him up. If you see someone down, cheer them up.

Never leave a friend in need stay in need, as Jesus said, “I was hungry and you fed me. I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink.”(don’t know what verse this was)

The theme this year means to me in my personal christian life that I need to stay strong in my faith. In my life I don’t think that I have been very clear through my faith, as in that I need to follow through with it. I usually say that I am a christian, but am I really? I think I need to learn more about God and take my faith to the next level. I need to be in Christ, with Christ, I need to be built on Christ. I need to be built on the rock!

In conclusion we need to be in Christ. Because if we are built on the rock we will never fall away.
