For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each one's work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is. If anyone's work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. I Corinthians 3:11-14

There has been much work for the kingdom over the past eons of time, some will be rewarded, and some will burn! Good intentions, fleshly pursuits and prideful works will all be on the bonfires of Heaven at the Judgment seat of Christ!
No doubt I will have my own fire as many will but the things I did that were of the heart I hope will be rewarded. In my journey I have seen many things that men thought were important: buildings, overhead and seats filled with spectators filling their coffers with gold, but many of these worldly pursuits will burn!
The apostle Paul instructs us to build on the foundation of Christ alone which will yield a harvest of souls made into disciples. Jesus didn't have a building, nor did He have a large following which you would think He would have seeing Him heal the sick, cast out demons and even raise the dead, but only 120 showed up at Pentecost to wait for the promise of His Spirit!
If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire. I Corinthians 3:15
