Welcome to the InTouch podcast with Charles Stanley for Monday, February 23rd. Life changes so fast it can be hard to know what truly matters. Today we’ll focus on what never loses its value as we continue Dr. Stanley’s series, Countdown to Judgment. >> This is the message in our series on Countdown to Judgment.

And you’ll recall we said in the very beginning, the moment you were born, the countdown started. every second, every minute, every hour, every day, every week, every year. Until one of these days, God’s going to call you home to give an account for your life. There’ll be no excuses, there’ll be no late, there’ll be no early. You’ll be right on time.

And you’ll stand in the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the just, eternal judge. And he and you will deal with the final exam of your life. That’s what I want to talk about in this message. And I want you to turn if you will to 1 Corinthians chapter 3. So I want you to begin with me if you will in verse 5.

What then is Apollos? What is Paul servants through whom you believed even as the Lord gave opportunity to each one? I planted Apollos watered but God was causing the growth. So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters any is anything but God who causes the growth. Now, he who plants and he who waters are one, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

For we are God’s fellow workers. You’re God’s field, God’s building. Speaking of the church there, according to the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder, I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it. For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Now if any man of woman of course likewise. Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver or precious stones or wood, hay, straw, each man’s work will become evident. That is, it’s going to be shown, declared, manifest, revealed. For the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire.
