1 Corinthians 3:11-17.
a) 1 Corinthians 3:11. For no
one can lay any foundation other than the one that has been laid; that
foundation is Jesus Christ.

1- Gold.
2- Silver.

God’s Spirit dwells in us.

‘An
Incorrect Way Of Thinking.’
2
Chronicles 28:23.
a) King
Ahaz sacrificed to the gods of Damascus which had defeated him.
b) He
reasoned that because these gods helped them that they would help him too.
c) They
were the ruin of King Ahaz and all Israel.
(This Second one shows me An Incorrect Way Of
Thinking)
Chris.
Straw is something that is not reliable for
building buildings with. In some poor Nations people live in simple houses made
of mud and straw. If the weather is bad these house will easily be destroyed.
Compassionate Missionaries or Governments can surely help these poor people to
build another way.
