You are a living stone in the House of the Lord.
You are the Lord's temple, where in His Spirit does dwell. We aim that your house be built with a solid foundation, Christ as the chief cornerstone, and built up by the Holy Spirit according to His best design.
Clean. Solid. Precious. Lovely. Settled. Holy. True.
Begin here — Wisdom first. Come for the Word. May it be straight, level, plain and smooth. Food that sustains and nothing that draws away. Only that which the Lord himself would have declared. May He open your heart, giving you ears to hear, and nourish your soul according to His very best love for you.
The man is not the point. Christ is.
