Are We Guided by God's Word?

“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock.” Most of us are familiar with these words of Jesus Christ. They are found in Matthew 7:24. How do they apply to your life – and to my life? And what evidence should we expect to see to confirm that we are truly being guided by God’s Word, the Bible?
