Hi everyone
Do we want people to praise us for a task we performed
(perhaps our small group leader asked us to do something for the evening, or
our youth leader asked us to perform a task – do we then seek to be
acknowledged for it; especially in front of others so that they can see what a
great job we did?
Do we want to be esteemed by man?
Do we seek to put up a tent to fill thousands so that
our name can be made great?
Are we seeking adoration or the applause of people
because “we” preached a good sermon … preaching in such a way as turning
people’s attention onto us – boasting of “our” spiritual experiences ?
… Do we see seek recognition from others for doing
something for God?
