Many Christians fail in the time of storms because they have no real foundation. Jesus addresses this in the sermon on the mount:. Jesus delivering the Sermon on the Mount by Carl Bloch. Photo credit: Wikipedia. Matt KJV. When the storm comes, you will stand or fall in whatever house you build. Jesus talks about 2 kinds of builders: The foolish and the wise.
They both wanted a house. Both built their houses in the same location. Both houses were subjected to the same stress. The differences between the two lay in the foundation of the houses. The wise man built upon a rock. The foolish man built on sand.

The Oscar winning Bacharach song is well known now, but before it featured in Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid it was passed around to Ray Stevens and Bob Dylan, both of whom declined the chance to record it.
Eventually BJ Thomas stepped up and it subsequently became a chart-topping hit.
