CONFIDENCE TO BUILD HOMES

Make God the foundation.

Proverbs 24:3 – Through Godly wisdom a life, a home, and a family is built, and through understanding it is established on a sound foundation.

I Cor 3:11 – No one can lay any other foundation than the one we already have, Jesus Christ.

Proverbs 12:3 – You can’t find firm footing in a swamp, but a life rooted in God stands firm.

Proverbs 14:26 – Reverence for God gives a man deep strength; his children have a place of refuge and security.

Hebrews 11:1 – Faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living. It’s our handle on what we can’t see.

Remember what matters most.

Galatians 5:6b – The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.

I Cor. 13:1-3 – If I could speak with human or angelic eloquence, but didn’t love, it would be just noise. If I could predict the future and explain every mystery but didn’t love others, it would be worthless. And if I had such great faith that I could move mountains, without love, it would mean nothing. And even if I gave all my possessions to the poor and sacrificed my body, without love, it would be of no value.

Luke 9:48 – Anyone who takes care of a little child is caring for me. Your care for others is the measure of your greatness.

Gather the right companions.

Best way: Join a good Church.

I commit to a great purpose.

Matt. 20:26 – Whoever wants to be great must become a servant.

I John 2:17 – This world, and all its desires, will pass away. But the man who does the will of God will live forever.

Have courage to stand alone.

Exodus 23:2 – Don’t join any crowd that intends to do evil, and don’t be swayed in your testimony by the opinion of the majority.

I Cor. 16:13-14 – Stand true to what you believe. Be courageous. Be strong. And everything you do must be done with love.
