For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. - 1 Corinthians 3:11

. . . Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone. - Ephesians 2:20b

Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man,

which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew,

and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth

these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house

upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that

house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. - Matthew 7:24-27

Wherein God, willing more abundantly to show unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his

counsel, confirmed it by an oath: That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to

lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before

us: - Hebrews 6:17-18

1. He Promised

2. He Cannot Lie

Fixed, Fastened, and Firm

Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. He shall not be

afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD. His heart is established, he shall not be

afraid, until he see [his desire] upon his enemies. - Psalm 112:6-8

kuwn - [kn] - to be fixed, fastened, established, stable, secured, firm, and resolute

camak - [smak'] - braced, sustained, upheld, undergirded and supported

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the

earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters

thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. There is a

river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most

High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early. The

heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted. The LORD of hosts is

with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations

he hath made in the earth. He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and

cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire. Be still, and know that I am God: I will be

exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of

Jacob is our refuge. Selah. - Psalm 46:1-11

mowt - [mte] - to be moved, shaken, overthrown, dislodged

His heart is kuwn (fixed, fastened, and firm) and camak (upheld and undergirded). I will not be mowt

(moved, shaken, or overthrown) or kataischyn (put to shame or disgraced).

Steadfast, Immovable, and Always Abounding in the Work

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the

Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. - 1 Corinthians 15:58

Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these

things, ye shall never fall: - 2 Peter 1:10

Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of

his glory with exceeding joy, - Jude 1:24

I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. - Psalm

16:8

Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be

moved. - Psalm 55:22

My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. He only is my rock and my

salvation: he is my defense; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my

strength, and my refuge, is in God. Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him:

God is a refuge for us. Selah. - Psalm 62:5-8

For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee,

neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee. - Isaiah

54:10

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth

even for ever. - Psalm 125:2
