First, I need to be a quality spiritual stone. Sticking with human responsibility here, if I am a crumbly brick, my part of a wall may ultimately collapse. I need a steady diet of His Word, active obedience and outreach to others that they might join the workforce and materials list. it's a huge building He is erecting; we need all the help and materials we can get.<br /><br />The other element, or course highlighted esp. in the 1 Peter passages is that He is the mighty, all-powerful Builder putting us together at just the right time (in earth's existence) in exactly the right way to erect this magnificent edifice to house His divine, eternal glory. <br /><br />What a deal!chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04631165961382647198noreply@blogger.com
