"Every house, of course, is built by someone — and God is the one who has built all things. Moses was faithful in God's house as a servant, and he spoke of the things that God would say in the future. But Christ is faithful as the Son in charge of God's house. We are his house if we keep up our courage and our confidence in what we hope for. ...

My fellow-believers, be careful that no one among you has a heart so evil and unbelieving as to turn away from the living God. Instead, in order that none of you be deceived by sin and become stubborn, you must help one another every day, as long as the word “Today” in the scripture applies to us."

(Hebrews 3.4-6,12-13 GNB)

Believers are God's house. We are what make it inviting for others to come and stay. A church is sustainable only when the people in it have their hearts in the right place and do what needs to be done for each other.

Dear God,
please help me keep my heart right
and tend to the needs of others
