We can build up our brothers and sisters in Christ, or we can tear them down. When we accumulate a lot of knowledge, but don't understand how to apply that knowledge - we tend to be 'sour puss' Christians. We can be overly judgmental of others, or we can place stumbling blocks in front of others without realizing how we are hurting them spiritually. We need charity which is love in action. Charity builds others up and helps them to become mature disciples of Christ!
