Listen "Part V, Motives Matter"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textGod looks beyond our actions to examine the intentions of our hearts when we serve Him. Our motives can either sanctify or corrupt even the most seemingly righteous deeds.• God desires sincere intentions—worship and obedience rather than self-serving desires for recognition or gain• Even with a pure heart, we can have wrong motivations due to incomplete understanding of God's word• The world teaches accumulation while God calls us to be vessels through which blessings flow to others• Jesus taught that our righteousness should be practiced in secret, not for public recognition• While motives matter greatly, the purity of the gospel message we share matters even more• We must resist the temptation to edit the gospel by emphasizing only comfortable aspects• When helping others, sometimes listening and showing compassion is more important than immediate evangelism• The Bible should be our source for answers rather than personal interpretations or opinionsIf you have questions about your faith journey or need guidance on proper motives in serving God, turn directly to Scripture and pray for discernment about what God is asking of you.Good morning, good afternoon, wherever you are in the world - Welcome to Grapevine Ministries.
