Here's an article I put together for Anime Angels. The message is important, so I'll share it here too:
Nearly all of us have been wow’d by an individual with skillful hands constructing a house of cards. Piece by piece, the house, however large or small it may be, is constructed carefully and deliberately. The positioning of each card is crucial and if one of them is removed, the entire house falls down. Even a slight breeze has the chance of knocking down the cards.
Did you know that you are part of a building? It’s not a house of cards, it’s a living, breathing house built for more purpose than simple amusement. Peter wrote about this house in one of the epistles that we have from him:
“…you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.â€
