If we have truly encountered Jesus,

we are not destroyers of families or churches,

but builders of families and churches.

Saul, who once violently went from house to house, dragging both men and women and imprisoning all who believed (Acts 5:42), met the resurrected and ascended Jesus Christ on the road to Damascus, saw Him sitting at the right hand of God, and was converted and received a mission (Acts 9:3-7).  From that moment on, he went from house to house, proclaiming that all must repent, return to God, and believe in our Lord Jesus Christ, thus building the Lord's church through his ministry (Acts 20:20-21).  If we have truly encountered God's Son, Jesus Christ, we are not destroyers of families or churches but builders of families and churches.  We must not only proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ with our lips but also live in a manner worthy of the gospel (Philippians 1:27), thereby building both our families and the church.
