All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work. ~ 2 Timothy 3:16,17 (NLT) George Mueller, who was known for his strong faith, confided, “The first three years after conversion, I neglected the Word of God.

Amy Carmichael was born in Northern Ireland in 1867. While still a teenager, she heard 1 Corinthians 3:11-13, for no one can lay any foundation other than the one we already have—Jesus Christ. Anyone who builds on that foundation may use a variety of materials—gold, silver, jewels, wood, hay, or straw. But on the judgment day, fire will reveal what kind of work each builder has done. The fire will show if a person’s work has any value. Amy was so moved by the power of those w
