From Elder Newman, Oct 2023:
about the parable of the wise man who built his house upon a rock. According to the account in Luke, as the wise man laid the foundation for his house, he “DIGGED DEEP” It wasn’t a casual or simple endeavor—it took EFFORT!
To build our lives on the rock of our Redeemer, Jesus Christ, we need to dig deep. We remove anything that is sandy or superfluous in our lives. We keep digging until we find Him. And we teach our children to bind themselves to Him through sacred ordinances and covenants so that when the oppositional storms and floods come, as they surely will, they will have little effect upon them “because of the rock upon which [they] are built.”
This kind of strength doesn’t just happen. It is not passed on to the next generation like a spiritual inheritance. Each person must digabout the parable of the wise man who built his house upon a rock.
