There is a building I know that was put up to be a church, and most of the people who built it are not there anymore. Some moved away over different philosophies. Some just moved. But the building still stands, still doing the exact thing it was built to do, and the assignments those first people carried are being carried right now by others. Paul says he laid a foundation and someone else is building on it, and then he warns each of us to take care how we build. Paul makes the foundation clear: no one can lay any foundation other than Jesus Christ. Everything the rest of us do is built on top of that, and fire will test what sort of work it was. The builders go. The work stays. This weekend, do not comment. Just look at something you are building and ask what it is standing on.
