Reflections

I have the heart of an engineer. Perhaps that is why I enjoyed my time in engineering. Even though I am no longer in CSIRO, I enjoy being an engineer for God, building His Church. So this Scripture continue to challenge me.

1 Corinthians 3:12 - 15 (NIV) 12 If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13 his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man’s work. 14 If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward. 15 If it is burned up, he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames.

What are we building for God? If we have built with pure hearts and build well, it will stand up scrutiny before God and we will receive our rewards. But if we built with impure motives, it will be burnt up and we will have little to show. Let us examine carefully what we build for Him.
