A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him.

How to Build a Church
Step 1: When you start to build a church, you must first rent a crane and put the steeple in place, even if it is just hanging in midair.
Step 2: Once that is done, you can continue to build the church around it.
I can see all the construction guys out there just cringing at those terribly wrong instructions. There is no way to build a successful and sturdy church if you put the last piece in first and then try to build around it. To build a solid structure you have to start at the bottom, not the top. You have to pour the concrete and create a solid foundation to build on. If you don’t it will crumble like a house of cards.
