Posted by Chris Reading your post, I thought of the following, (1Co 3:7-15) This makes me so glad that I know the need to rightly divide the Word of God Lynn, for so many build on the foundation laid, what is not according to God's design, God's purpose, don't you think? [There but for God's grace go I though] What a lot we have to be grateful to God for! May I never be guilty of this charge, of building on God's foundation anything but what is laid down in His Word for the Church which is His Body. This is all I can think of at the moment Lynn, the only other mention is of Prize and Crown of course, but that will need further thinking about. Perhaps someone else will be able to contribute something here. Great hearing from you. Chris

Hi Lynn,
"So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and EVERY MAN SHALL RECEIVE HIS OWN REWARD ACCORDING TO HIS LABOUR. For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, HE SHALL RECEIVE A REWARD. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire."
