“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.” – Matthew 7:24 It is common knowledge that the stronger the foundation of a house, the more durable it should be, especially in the face of external pressure.

“Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.” – John 15:2 This sounds all too familiar, doesn’t it? Easy to relate to because it naturally applies to every human and organization on the face of the
