According to the grace of God which is given unto

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.
All those saved everywhere are all part of
God's building!
We are all God's husbandry!
We are all labourers together!

us to the glory of God.
I Thess 418 Wherefore comfort one another with
these words.
I Thessalonians 510-13 ...whether we wake or
