On Wednesday, February 29, 2012 I was at the Apostolic Church of Jesus Christ for the Service just like every Wednesday.  I was leading the Praise & Worship that night.  After we finished with the Worship, I went to the back as I usually do as Pastor Sophocles Christodoulou started praying before the preaching of the Word of God.

He never walked away from the hungry in need. Thousands of people He was willing to feed. He never walked away from those in need of healing. He restored that which the devil was stealing. 

“I fell out of love with him, I don’t love him anymore…there’s nothing I can do about it, it just happened, the passion is gone!” People feel that they fall out of love as quickly as they fall in. Most people think that love and passion are things that “just happen” if you are “lucky”, and you don’t have any control over them. That’s a very common misconception and one of the most common reasons for marriages falling apart and Christians backsliding. Nothing could be farther from the truth however.

In the gospel of Luke 6:46-49 there is a parable of two men who built their house (one on the sand and the other on the rock) and immediately the storms came. Both men heard the word but one man’s house fell. The reason was because the foundation was not solid. He built on the sand. And in our lives to one degree or another we have learned that the foundation is the most important part of the building. In the case of believers that foundation is on the Rock.
