Rock-Solid Living in a Quicksand World is an extremely critical conversation Jesus is having with twenty-first century nations and people regarding the importance of looking back in order to actually have a future. At the end of the Sermon on the Mount, we hear Him teaching us to look backward in Matthew's Gospel (chapters 7 through 5,) and He says, "Embrace these teachings of mine, and actually live by them. Then, when the CAT-5 hurricanes of life pummel you, you will bear up under them! Choose otherwise, and you will collapse in a melodramatic way!" The USA and Western culture are on the path of Rome and Greece. Our foundations are crumbling in much the same way the foundations of these ancient superpowers turned to dust and ruin. These once-great historical titans now stand as crumbling ruins, viewed by today's tourists. They are seen as once great mighty nations that once were but never more shall be. Likewise, our foundations are turning into quicksand. Within the pages of this book, Jesus is calling us back to his teachings, which served us so well. Yes, it is in these teachings that we find personal, national, and cultural salvation and hope for a future. Here in his teachings, we will find the rock-solid foundation for our ever-increasingly crumbling quicksand world.
