1 Cor. 3:12,13 "Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is." Gold, silver, and precious stones take great effort of searching and mining. Gold and silver have to be refined and purified. Precious stones must be precisely cut and polished. There's a lot of hard work and great care involved in the craftsmanship of these things, but not so much with wood, hay, and stubble. Gathering these flammable items that aren't worth much doesn't seem to be very tedious, but pretty "easy" work. Let's get busy and sincerely care for our service to God. He will greatly reward us for our hard work. Remember 1 Corinthians 15:58. - Garrett Longest

I Corinthians 3:7-8 - "So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.  Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour." Remember that we are all working together to accomplish something for the Lord in our homes, our church, and our workplaces.  We will be rewarded according to what we do with what God has given us. Let's continue to encourage each other to accomplish more for the Lord in our lives and ministries. - Jason Myers

Revelation 2:10 - “Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.” Jesus was faithful unto death; don't back down, or become cold no matter what the devil does. Keep on the firing line, and you will get your reward. - Joshua Gross
