I Corinthians 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. (The Word of God)
15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

"Did God tell me to do this work or to say these Words?"
Is this honestly what I believe in my heart or am I trying to make that person feel better by pretending or by feigned words?
Am I acting and speaking in guile? or in truth?
(guile: sly or cunning; deviousness; shrewdness; wiles; ploys; schemes; stratagems; tricks)

I
share a house with Pam Padgett, a member of the body of Christ. I know
there is no guile in Pam. I try to keep my own self free from guile.
Therefore we live as the body of Christ, not in pretense or any plots
but in sincerity and truth and honesty in Christ the Word.
There
are others I'm not really sure about. I suspect some speak trying to
please me when what they say is not really what is in their hearts.
This should not be.
π₯π₯π₯
If
we speak words which we really do not believe in order to please
another person or to impress another person, we lie and speak not the
truth, and we sin.
Our
foundation must be built on truth from our heart. And our foundation
upon which we build must be truth from God by HIS Word.
