Bind us together in Christian love as builders for Christ.
Builders for Christ: to do his work together throughout the world for all eternity.
And Jesus said:
“Whoever hears these words of mine and acts upon them is like a wise man, who built his house on solid rock.
The rain came down, and the winds blew mightily against it, yet it did not fall, for its foundation was built upon the rock.”
Let us be builders for Christ.
Builders for Christ to do his work together throughout the world for all eternity.
