After Paul speaks about living in unity, he says in Ephesians 4:14-15, "Then we will no longer be infants, blown here and there by every wind of teaching.... instead, we will in all things grow up..."
An infant is a very needy person, demanding, making mistakes, and doing its own thing. A young Christian can be quite the same. A young Christian can also be easily swayed toward wrong doctrine. That's why it's so important to be well grounded in truth... the truth that is found in God's Word.
In Hebrews 3:4 and Psalm 127:1, we see that every house is built by someone. You must make the choice as to who your "someone" is. Who is building the house of your life? If it's not God, you're wasting your time.
In 1 Corinthians 3:10-15, we are warned to be careful how we build, for it will be tested with fire. Above all, make sure your foundation is Jesus. As you build your life, others will try to tear it down. If you're secure on the foundation Jesus has laid, you will be able to stand.
So grab ahold of God's Word and stay there. You are responsible for your own walk--your spiritual building. When you stand before judgment, you will answer for yourself. Make sure you are building...growing...on the right foundation and in the right direction.
Welcome!
Isn't it true that all of us are "Walking It Out" day by day with the Lord? We are in this journey together—perhaps in different stages and circumstances, but certainly not alone. Let us help each other by lifting one another up and being encouraged to continue on this marvelous journey. In the end, this journey will lead us to the face of God.
"Walking It Out" is a Sunday school class offered at Praise Assembly in Springfield, Missouri, and taught by Doug and Nancy Thomas. We are glad you came to visit us here at this site and hope that you find something helpful in your own faith as you are "Walking It Out."
