August 30 1 Corinthians 3:7-8 “So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.” The sooner we as Christians realize that salvation comes solely from the Lord, the better of we will be.
