1 Corinthians 3:4-11 (ESV)
For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not being merely human? What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his wages according to his labor. For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s field, God’s building. According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it. For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
We should never follow after another man. We should seek to follow after Christ. The power is in the Gospel and the power is from God. All of our talents, abilities, and blessing are from God. May we be willing to be used by God to share His message with others that they might be touched by the saving power of the Gospel. May we build on the only foundation of Christ.
