The Wise and Foolish Builders

I read this today and it is such a great verse. Matt 6:46-49


46"Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?
47I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice.
48He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.
49But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete."

Yup, what's the point of going to Bible studies, seminars and conferences if one does not implement the words of God? One can read, receive, research, remember and reflect on the verses, but everything is useless unless one responses by acting. "Be doers of the word, but not hearers only, deceiving yourselves." James 1:22
