Fan or Follower?
This is an every day question for all of us. “You cannot be my disciple unless you deny yourself, take up your cross daily and follow me.”
What is it that drives you?
Human motivation has recently fascinated me.
Some people are motivated by fear.
Some are motivated by “Atta boys/girls.”
Others are motivated by money.
Some people love “the rules.”
There are some who love to get their toes stepped on.
Love motivates some.
Daily needs met is a drive for many.
God’s word gives us insight as to great things that should motivate us. Specifically, "loving the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength" should be a primary motivator. Couple that with “the fear (respect or reverence) of the Lord is the beginning of all wisdom,” and our life in Christ becomes fascinatingly simple.
So here’s a bottom line question: do you love God and are you reverencing Him?
This week we’ll look at one of the very destructive motifs that some ministries will use to leverage or guilt people connected to God.
At Forum, our desire is to motivate all of us out of our love for the Lord. Looking forward to worshiping with you this weekend. – Scott
