I really like architecture; it tells a story of time, history, fashion, art and human determination and effort.

Yet I have to admit that it doesn’t last forever; these buildings will come down one day…

They have withstood blizzards, storms, winds and lots of traffic for a long time, but they will fall down all the same…

The Kingdom of Heaven on the other hand will last forever; it cannot fail.

If we spend our lives building only things that will not last then all of our life’s work will die away with us.  But this is really not necessary, for we can work on building the Kingdom of Heaven as we go along.  As Christ’s followers we can all do our part in building the Body of Christ, something that will not only withstand the test of time, but the test of eternity as well.
