Build with care
The 5 Verbs of Learning: Practice
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. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 3:10-11
The highest challenge is to become a wise builder. The Apostle Paul said “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.” How do we become wise builders in the Kingdom? It is knowing how to lay foundations that are strong enough to allow others to use their gifts to build upon it. It is a goal to work towards that may take years of ministry experience and some necessary suffering. This perspective and maturity does not come cheaply. Paul said he ‘died daily’ in his concern for the churches. He also exposed himself to great risks in his travels and faced raging opposition from the authorities. Through the generations, workers have paid a great price attaining this stature, as they make disciples. God promises we will reap if we do not lose heart.
