on foundations, definitions of wisdom, and co-workers;
On 1 Corinthians 3 from last night. (and more, from Genesis 34 funnily enough) but this first.
10 By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. 11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. 14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. 15 If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved-even though only as one escaping through the flames.
We lay our foundations together, together, as co-workers. & hope that it may be able to withstand the trials and struggles ahead, with wisdom from the Lord (as opposed to the wisdom that we have been taught to know it to be).
