We can mean well, but what we pass to others as foundation when they have none is very important. We should encourage others to find God for themselves verses trying to give them a version of God that resonates with us. When we encourage, we lead them to the Word and they can read it for themselves and build from there. When we do this, we are also strengthened and encouraged to continue to build on a firm foundation. Once that foundation is solid, adding additional knowledge builds upon what you already have; it also puts what you find in other texts in good context for you. In this way you are truly growing in the knowledge of one’s faith and are able to share that goodness with others.
