“Wherefore, receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us have grace, whereby we may offer service well-pleasing to God<\/em>” (Hebrews 12:28). Inspiration offers the encouragement that those who are in Christ’s church are part of an unshakeable kingdom. Christians can trust the permanence of what the Lord was establishing in the New Testament.<\/p>\n In contrast, Jesus preached that those who fail to rely on His words lack a foundation. He warned, “Every one that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and smote upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall thereof<\/em>” (Matthew 7:26-27). The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, which is the religious organization that so-called “Jehovah’s Witnesses” belong to, is built on sand. Consider seven of its shaky pillars.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Watchtower Built on Sand\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNext Lesson\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Introduction “Wherefore, receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us have grace, whereby we may offer service well-pleasing to God” (Hebrews 12:28).
