Ep. 640 - Motives Matter

Jul 30, 2025

MINISTRY MOMENT

“Everything is pure to those whose hearts are pure. But nothing is pure to those who are corrupt and unbelieving, because their minds and consciences are corrupted. Such people claim they know God, but they deny him by the way they live…” This teaches us that our motives matter. Don’t just serve God and people so you look good, or mark off some type of religious box. Instead prove through your actions and your motives behind your actions that you are truly a servant of God, and everything you do is for His glory and praise.


PRAYER POINT

“Father, we ask that You would test our hearts and the motives behind our actions. Lead us and guide us today, so we can bring honor and glory to Your name and not our own. May our heart posture always be to make You greater. In Jesus’ name, Amen!”


GOING DEEPER

Read and study Titus 1:15-16. What other verses can you find that talk about the importance of our motives? Hint: There’s quite a few!


WALK IT OUT

Pray that the Lord will help you see your trials differently. Ask Him to help you see your trials through His perspective. Motives matter, so however you love and serve today, do it with the right motives!


SHARE WITH OTHERS

Look for the opportunity to share what Jesus revealed to you today.
