Summary
Well, using these steps that I shared with you, using those as our guideline or our outline, we are going to see how blessing others, how home building habitat for humanity or the idea of building a home. And each of us has been called by the Holy Spirit into faith and each of us who has been called into faith through the Holy Spirit has been given that foundation of Jesus Christ. We're not called to build it by ourselves to figure it all out by ourselves and we're not called to call, we're not called to build our own world as individuals with no bearing on one another. The Holy Spirit in his grace empowers us to bless others, in building upon the foundation that has been laid, the foundation of Jesus Christ. We're tempted to make allowances for or to aid others in sinful choices because we think that it's kind to make sure that they're comfortable in the home in which they live, that they're comfortable in their dwelling place. We can bless one another by reminding one another that our homes are not built with the rotting wood of sin, but our homes that God is continuing to build for us is built with the pure wood of the cross on which Jesus hung.
