Three Bricklayers

The passerby thought about their answers and concluded that the first bricklayer laid brick because that was his job.   Nothing more – just a job to earn money.
The second bricklayer laid brick because he had a goal – to build a building as something to show for his time at a job.
The third bricklayer laid bricks with his eyes toward heaven. 

How are Christians to Respond?

We are to respond with truth and compassion for the lost, and with pity and prayer for Christians who are caught up in someone’s passion of the moment. Unless a believer has a God-given passion for a particular situation at hand, it is best to stay off their bandwagon and to get on your knees.
