You know. 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:22.079 I like to get started each week with something kind 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:26.160 of funny. And I heard about these three aspiring psychiatrists. 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:30.080 They were taking their first test on emotional extremes. And 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:33.399 the professor asked the first student from the University of Arkansas, 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:38.320 what's the opposite of sadness? He replied happiness. He asked 0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:42.079 the next student from Oklahoma, what's the opposite of depression? 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:46.000 He replied joy. He asked the third student from Texas, 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:50.520 A and M what's the opposite of woe? Woe? The 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:52.919 agg you looked kind of confused, and finally he said, 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:57.920 give y up. Hold up your Bible. Say it like 0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:00.640 you mean it. Are you ready? This is my Bible. 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:03.720 I am what it says. I am. I have what 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.480 it says I have. I can do what it says 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:09.360 I can do. Today I will be talked the word 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:13.960 of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:17.640 heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:21.600 Jesus's name, God bless you. I want to talk to 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:26.400 you today about the importance of having pure motives. What 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:29.520 we do is not near as important as why we 0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:33.000 do it, because we can do the right thing and 0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:36.000 have the wrong motive, and the truth is, we're not 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:39.400 going to be blessed. And I know people today, they're 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:42.440 very nice and kind to somebody. They'll go out of 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:45.680 their way to do them favors. And that's great. We 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:49.160 should treat people good. But the problem is they're not 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:51.920 doing it because they love them. They're not doing it 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:55.480 because they care. They're doing it to get something from them. 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:58.920 They have an ulterior motive, and so they'll kind of 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:01.280 play up to them to try to get what they want. 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:05.120 But really all that is is being a phony, that's 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:07.960 being a pretender, and we're never going to be blessed 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:11.680 like that. Our heart and our actions need to match up. 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:15.720 And the scripture says here in Romans twelve, verse nine, 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:20.240 love from the center of who you are. Don't fake it? 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:24.719 What does that mean? Be real? Don't go around being 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:29.200 two faced, pretending, acting one way, talking one way, yet 0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:32.800 on the inside you're thinking something totally opposite. Now, keep 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:36.760 your heart pure. It's interesting back in Bible days, the 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:40.279 Pharisees did a lot of good things, but they didn't 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:43.599 receive any reward because they were doing them for the 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:47.880 wrong reason. They went to the temple regularly, but they 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:51.320 didn't go to worship. They went to be well thought of. 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:54.919 They went to try to build their reputation, and they'd 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:58.760 stand outside and pray these long, fancy prayers, not because 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:02.000 they were concerned. They just wanted everybody to hear them. 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:05.480 They wanted to draw attention to themselves. And they even 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:09.440 gave their money. They helped the poor, but again not 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:13.080 because they cared. They were just trying to impress people 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:16.360 and see. They did the right thing, but they had 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:19.520 the wrong motive and it kept them from being blessed. 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:23.600 And we too need to find out why we're doing 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:26.719 what we're doing. Let's not just look on the surface. 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:30.080 Let's go deeper than that. It's what's going on on 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:33.400 the inside that really counts. And I don't think these 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:37.840 days we're taught enough to examine our motives and on 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:41.400 a regular basis. We need to get quiet and just 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.720 ask ourselves why am I doing this? Am I being 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:48.320 nice to this person because I really care? Or am 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:51.160 I just trying to get something from them? Am I 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:54.560 giving to really help? This cause, or am I just 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:57.680 putting on a show trying to impress people. Or do 0:05:57.720 --> 0:05:59.680 I go to church because I want to because I 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:03.120 love God? Or am I going like the Pharisees just 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:05.160 to be well thought of? Or do I go just 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:08.040 because my parents make me go. Now, I don't know 0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:11.000 about you, but I want to really get to know myself. 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:13.760 And if I have wrong motives, I don't want to 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:16.800 go my whole lifetime and not realize it. I want 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:18.839 to search my heart and get it out in the 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:22.000 open so I can deal with it. And it's funny 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:25.920 how we'll regularly check the oil in our cars, and 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.680 if we have to, we'll change that ail two or 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:31.720 three times a year. We know if the oil gets 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:34.680 dirty and it breaks down, it's going to affect the 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:38.599 performance of that car. Really, the oil is the key 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:42.560 to the engine running smoothly. We may not see it. 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:45.240 It's on the inside. It's hidden. All we can see 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:48.039 is the exterior, and we can clean up the car 0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:52.120 and polish it, but really that's all superficial. If the 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:55.840 oil is all filthy and corroded, no matter how beautiful 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.880 the outside, eventually that car is not going to run 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:02.360 very well well our motives are just like the oil. 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:05.440 And if we don't check them on a regular basis 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:08.880 and make sure that they're pure, make sure we're doing 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:11.720 things for the right reason, then it's going to affect 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:15.480 our performance. It's gonna keep us from rising higher. And 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:18.240 this is one of the main areas that keeps people 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:23.000 in mediocrity. What's going on on the inside. God is 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:26.080 a god of hearts, and our inner life is more 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:29.000 important than our our life. And on the outside, we 0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:32.400 can be doing all the right things, but what's really 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:35.600 gonna determine how high we're going to go is what's 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:38.400 going on down in here. And I don't want us 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:43.080 to be like the Pharisees and go year after year, giving, serving, 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:46.600 doing the right things, but we're not seeing any good 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:50.520 results because we're doing them for the wrong reason. Well, 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:53.160 you say, Joel, I've volunteered here in the nursery for 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:57.320 six years and nobody even thanks me anymore, nobody even 0:07:57.360 --> 0:08:00.200 tells me they appreciate me. I just don't understand it. 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:03.320 I don't think that's right. Well, that may not be right. 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:05.720 Maybe somebody is not doing their job, But let me 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:08.880 ask you, are you working unto men or are you 0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:12.080 working under God. Are you doing that just to impress 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:15.400 people to be well thought of like the Pharisees, or 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:18.280 are you doing it simply to honor God. See what 0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:21.640 I'm saying today is examining your heart. And please don't 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:25.720 go another six years not being blessed because you're doing 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:28.960 it for the wrong motive. Our attitude should be God. 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:31.640 It doesn't matter if they never tell me thanks. I'm 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:33.640 not doing it for them. I'm doing it for you, 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:36.440 And I know you're keeping the records, so I'm gonna 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:39.440 keep my head held high. I'm gonna keep doing my 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:43.120 very best, knowing that my reward is coming. If you 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:45.920 have that kind of attitude, you're gonna be blessed. And 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:51.120 I know sometimes facing the truth about ourselves can be uncomfortable. 0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:54.840 Sometimes it's hard to well, maybe I didn't do it 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:57.080 for the right motive. Maybe I did do that for 0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:59.760 the wrong reason. Human nature, we like to make it, 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:02.959 we like to blame others, and hey, it's not my fault. 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:05.400 But I'm asking us all today to take a good 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:09.240 look inside and be honest with yourself. If you get 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:13.920 upset and disappointed with people because you gave them something 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:16.880 and they didn't give you anything in return. Well, the 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:20.640 fact is you gave with the wrong motive. Well, Joel, 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.000 I gave him tickets to the ballgame. I thought for 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:24.680 sure he'd put in a good word for me at 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:28.120 the office. I thought for sure i'd get that new contract. No, 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:31.720 that's the wrong reason. And the Bible says the pure 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:34.559 in heart are going to be blessed when we have 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:38.920 wrong motives. It's like we're always giving, we're serving, we're 0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:42.040 doing the right things, but like the Pharisees, we're not 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:45.560 receiving any reward. We're not seeing any of that fruit. Now, 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:47.760 if that's happening in your life, first thing to do 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:50.600 is look on the inside, make sure that you're doing 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:54.000 it with a pure heart. And parents, it's so important 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:56.840 that we teach our children to do things for the 0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:59.600 right reason. They need to learn this at a very 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:02.720 early age. This is going to determine how high they're 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:05.520 going to go. Because they can have all the education 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:08.600 in the world, they can have all the talent, but 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:11.240 if they don't learn the importance of doing things with 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:14.600 the right motive, they'll never become all God's created them 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:18.199 to be. And I know people today that are very talented. 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:21.680 They're following all the right principles and they work the 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:24.920 formulas just right, but it seems like they just can't 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:29.600 get ahead. And it's because there's a problem on the inside. 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:32.319 And the only way we really get to know ourselves 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:35.720 is to get in touch with our motives. We've got 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:38.200 to get beyond the surface and not just look at 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:41.360 what we do. Let's go deeper than that. When we 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:45.000 find that maybe our motives are not right, we need 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:48.040 to be willing to face the truth, and then let's 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:51.439 be quick to make the necessary adjustments. The good news 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:54.240 is we can all change. And if you have a 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:56.920 habit of giving to people to try to get something 0:10:56.960 --> 0:10:59.640 from them, well, next time you just make a decision. 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:02.520 I'm gonna give you this and not expect anything in return. 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:04.800 I'm gonna give you this simply to be a blessing. 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:07.960 Or maybe you tend to play up to people to 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:10.480 try to buy their friendship, to try to buy their favor, 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:14.360 We'll just make a decision to stop. Don't do it anymore, Well, 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:16.760 you said, Joe, If I quit doing that, what if 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:18.800 they put me out of their group, What if they 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:21.480 won't be my friend anymore? Well, God will give you 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:23.800 some new friends. And let me tell you, you don't need 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:26.760 friends like that anyway. You need people that will love 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:29.880 you and accept you for who you are and not 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:32.480 for what you can do for them. And the fact 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:36.480 is nobody can perform perfectly all the time. And if 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:39.400 people are putting that kind of pressure on you, not 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:42.080 only are they going to be disappointed, but you're not 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:44.800 gonna be happy. Don't be a people pleaser, be a 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:48.040 God pleaser, and God would rather you have a pure heart, 0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:52.199 then go through life pretending, playing up to people, trying 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:55.600 to win their acceptance. The apostle Paul said, and Second 0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:59.839 Corinthians four, verse two, we refuse to wear masks and 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:03.960 play games. Rather we keep everything out in the open. 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:07.599 The whole truth is on display. That's the kind of 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:10.600 people we need to be. Our attitude should be. My 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:14.160 life is an open book. I'm not a phony. I 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:17.160 don't go around saying one thing meaning something else. No, 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:20.560 the whole truth is on display. What we're saying is 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:23.560 what you see is what you get. One time, the 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:26.640 disciples had been out fishing all night long, and early 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:30.400 the next morning Jesus came along and he said, boys, 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:32.040 have you caught anything. 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:32.600 Now. 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:35.680 I think it's interesting that Jesus called them boys. I mean, 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:38.959 obviously there were grown men, but he must have seen 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:43.360 some kind of immaturity, something that he didn't like. I 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:46.560 don't know, maybe a wrong motive, a wrong attitude. And 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.800 he said, boys, have you caught anything? They said, no, Jesus, 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:53.080 we hadn't caught a single fish. He said, well, throw 0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:56.000 your nets on the right side of the boat and 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:59.280 you'll catch a great haul of fish. And they did that. 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:02.320 They caught so many fish that their nests begin to break. 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:05.480 And one principle I think we can liken this too, 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:09.280 is having wrong motives is like fishing on the wrong 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:11.800 side of the boat. It's like you're fishing with this 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:15.120 single little pole. You may catch something. Ever, once in 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:18.719 a while you're working the right principles, few things may 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:21.040 go your way, but you're not gonna catch that much. 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:24.560 You're not gonna experience God's abundant life. But when you 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:27.640 do it God's way and you have right motives and 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:30.120 you get on the right side of the boat, that's 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:32.920 the equivalent of fishing with a great, big net. You 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:35.760 don't have to struggle to make things happen. You don't 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:38.480 have to manipulate people. You don't have to fight your 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:40.880 way to the top. No, when you have the right 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:45.120 motive and an obedient heart, the Bible says that God's 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:48.559 blessings will chase you down and overtake you. I mean, 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:50.880 when you have a pure heart, you can't even outrun 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:53.800 the good things of God. I remember, just a few 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:57.280 years ago, we were searching for property to build a 0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:00.400 new sanctuary Arnor, and I can tell you a heart 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:03.560 was to simply help more people. We weren't trying to 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:06.240 just build a big building. We weren't trying to just 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:09.240 one up somebody. Now, you'll never be blessed like that. 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:12.040 And you've heard me tell the story. We searched and 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:15.880 searched for a long time, and twice the property that 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:19.480 we found was sold right out from under us. Wasn't fair, 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:22.760 it wasn't right. But we didn't get mad, we didn't 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:25.400 try to get even. We just said, God, this situation 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:28.400 is in your hands. You know, our motive is to 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:31.080 help others. You know our heart is purity. And it 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:34.080 wasn't long after that that we got word that the 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:37.920 Compact Center was coming available, and things just supernaturally begin 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:40.920 to fall into place. I mean, really, we didn't have 0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:44.000 to come to it. It came to us. When you 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:47.200 have the right motives and you have a pure heart, 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:50.760 all the forces of darkness can't keep the blessings of 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:53.640 God from chasing you down. That's when you're fishing with 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:55.920 a great, big net. That's when you're going to see 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:58.000 God do more than you can even ask or think. 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:01.240 On the other hand, though, when our heart is not right, 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:05.680 we can be doing the right thing. But like those disciples, 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:09.160 we're not seeing any good results. We're not catching any fish. 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:12.840 Nothing's going our way. We can't seem to get ahead. Well, 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:16.320 we need to check the inside. And sometimes I found 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:19.000 we can be doing something for so long that we 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:21.440 don't even realize it, but we're not doing it for 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:25.080 the right reason. I have this friend. She worked at 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:28.480 this big company years ago, and she wanted so badly 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:31.520 to be accepted by everyone, and she'd been through a 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:34.200 lot of hurts in her life, a lot of rejection, 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:38.280 and so she just naturally went overboard doing things for 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:41.000 her boss. And she'd bring him coffee in the morning 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:44.240 and make sure she got him doughnuts. If he needed 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:46.480 her to work late. She'd certainly stay in work late. 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:50.760 She never missed his or his wife's birthday, always had 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:53.560 them an appropriate gift. One time, she told how she 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:55.360 even went over to their house and cleaned it all 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:58.760 up for him. And she didn't like doing this, she said, 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:01.240 she didn't want to do it. She did it only 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:03.880 because she thought this was the way she could have 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:06.600 the boss's favor. She thought this was the only way 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:10.480 she could have his approval. And what's interesting is she 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:13.600 was doing all the right things, but she wasn't seeing 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:18.440 any right results. She was constantly struggling, just always working, 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:22.040 worn out, run down, no joy, no energy. And one 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:25.120 day she and the boss got into this disagreement and 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:27.720 it got a little bit heated, and he said something 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:30.480 to her that really opened her eyes. He called her 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:33.880 by name, and he said, you know, nobody does any 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:38.040 more right than you do, nobody works any harder, and 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:40.960 I can't put my finger on it, but something is 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:44.320 just not right. And that just cut her to the heart. 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:46.840 I mean, she was so hurt, so wounded, and she 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:49.240 began to sit around and sult for a couple of days. 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:53.680 And see, when somebody speaks the truth to us, especially 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:56.080 when we don't want to hear it, our defense mechanisms 0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:59.400 go up. And so she's sitting there having a pity party, thinking, man, here, 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:01.840 everything I do for you and all I get in 0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:06.400 return is this No gratitude, no appreciation. But she said 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:09.840 a couple of days later, when she got quiet and 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:13.560 she really got honest with herself, she began to realize 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:17.520 that she was doing all those things for the wrong reason. Yes, 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:20.639 she loved that couple, but the main reason she was 0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:24.240 doing it was to buy their friendship, to be accepted, 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:27.240 to be well thought of. And I wonder how many 0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:30.119 of us today are fishing from the wrong side of 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:33.400 the boat. We're doing the right thing, but like her, 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:36.399 we have the wrong motive, and it's keeping us from 0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:39.919 being blessed. And really this was all born out of 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:44.200 her insecurity. And what's interesting is she didn't even realize 0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:47.160 she was doing it. She had been doing it so long. 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:49.840 This is all she had ever known. And I found 0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:53.160 it's very easy for us to live in self deception. 0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:57.760 It's very easy to go around playing games, pretending trying 0:17:57.800 --> 0:18:00.760 to manipulate people, and we don't even realize that we're 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:04.120 doing it. And that's why I'm challenging us today on 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:08.200 a regular basis to examine our motives, and we need 0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:11.879 to understand everything we're doing for the wrong reason is 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:16.639 just wasting our time. We're just spending our wheels, working, struggling, 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:19.679 but not making any progress. It's like we're fishing with 0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:22.240 that little pole and God wants us to have this great, 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:25.879 big net. Now I found we can do a whole 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:29.600 lot less with right motives and get much greater results 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:32.560 than doing a lot of things with the wrong motive. 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:36.880 I remember years ago I wanted to meet this man 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:40.440 that owned a professional sports team. He lived in another state. 0:18:41.119 --> 0:18:44.120 He was very influential, very well thought of, And one 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:46.720 day this man I knew called me and invited me 0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:49.679 to go to a banquet. It was a charity event, 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:52.280 and the truth is I didn't really want to go. 0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:55.280 This man was not normally somebody I do something with. 0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:57.960 He was a fine gentleman, but I told him, I'm sorry, 0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:00.280 my schedule's really full and I'm just not going to 0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:02.600 be able to do it. Well. A couple of days 0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:05.560 after that, I found out that this man I wanted 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:08.320 to meet was going to be there. And not only this, 0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:11.800 but this gentleman who had invited me he was personal 0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:14.639 friends with this man, and all of a sudden I 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:19.280 had a desire to go. Suddenly he became my best friend, 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:21.320 and so I called him up and I said, hey, buddy, 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:24.320 old pall, my schedule has opened up. You think i'd 0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:26.240 still be able to go? And he said, oh, sure, 0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:28.960 Jorde loved to have you. Now. He didn't know it, 0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:31.879 but I knew down in here the only reason I 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:34.800 was going was to meet this other man. I wasn't 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:37.560 going to support the charity. I wasn't going to be 0:19:37.680 --> 0:19:41.280 his friend. I was going because I wanted something from him. 0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:44.440 I had an old TEARI or motive. Now quit looking 0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:48.440 at me like you've never done this before. We're gonna 0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:50.760 give you the mic next and you're gonna confess your faults. 0:19:52.720 --> 0:19:55.320 But sure enough we went, and you know, a couple 0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:57.840 of hours into that, he took me over and introduced 0:19:57.840 --> 0:19:59.919 me to his friend. And do you know, it was 0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:03.040 the strangest thing in the world. I promise you that 0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:05.320 man never even looked at me. He put out his 0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:08.240 hand over to the side and we shook hands, but 0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:10.119 he never turned his head. He just kept talking to 0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:12.199 his friend. I couldn't believe it. He didn't even know 0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:14.440 what I looked like. I could have been a monkey 0:20:14.520 --> 0:20:18.240 over there, and I'll never forget. When I left that night, 0:20:18.520 --> 0:20:20.879 I said to myself, right down in here, that was 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:24.800 the biggest waste of time. See, I was fishing from 0:20:24.840 --> 0:20:27.160 the wrong side of the boat. I had my little 0:20:27.160 --> 0:20:30.320 tiny fishing pole over here. And of course there's nothing 0:20:30.359 --> 0:20:33.760 wrong with wanting to meet somebody, but God sees our hearts. 0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:36.240 And if I just changed my attitude and said, you 0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:38.800 know what, I'm going to go to enjoy this time 0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:41.679 being with you, and if I get to meet that man, fine, 0:20:41.800 --> 0:20:44.320 If not, though my main reason for coming is to 0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:47.000 be your friend, is to support this cause, then I 0:20:47.040 --> 0:20:49.560 believe things would have turned out differently. Friends, we can 0:20:49.600 --> 0:20:51.760 fool a lot of people, but we can't fool God. 0:20:51.800 --> 0:20:54.800 And he's looking right down in here what's going on 0:20:54.800 --> 0:20:57.399 on the inside. It's much better to just get it 0:20:57.440 --> 0:20:59.600 out and open and deal with it. And when an 0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:02.920 opportunity comes up, the first thing that we should do 0:21:03.240 --> 0:21:06.399 is check our motive well, to ask ourselves, why do 0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:08.439 I want to do this, And if it's not for 0:21:08.560 --> 0:21:11.679 the right reason, let's recognize it's going to be a 0:21:11.680 --> 0:21:15.600 waste of our time. Even in spiritual things. Do you 0:21:15.680 --> 0:21:17.560 know you can go to a Bible study for the 0:21:17.600 --> 0:21:20.879 wrong reason. If you go just to look good, or 0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:23.000 just to keep up with your neighbor, or just to 0:21:23.000 --> 0:21:26.480 impress somebody. Well, it's good that you're going, But if 0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:28.800 you want to be blessed, if you really want to 0:21:28.840 --> 0:21:31.000 make it worth your while, you need to go with 0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:34.080 the right motive. You need to get up and go 0:21:34.160 --> 0:21:37.280 read your Bible in the morning. With the wrong motive, Well, 0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:39.320 I just want to show my wife I'm more spiritual 0:21:39.359 --> 0:21:41.600 than she is. I'm gonna stay in here an extra 0:21:41.640 --> 0:21:44.800 ten minutes today. Now, that's being a pharisee. That's being 0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:46.800 a phony. When you go read your Bible, do it 0:21:46.840 --> 0:21:49.000 to honor God. Do it because you want to grow 0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:51.880 and feed your spirit. Man. I know people that read 0:21:51.920 --> 0:21:55.119 their Bible because they think they're getting brownie points with God. 0:21:55.359 --> 0:21:57.480 Their attitude is God, I'm gonna do you a favor today. 0:21:57.520 --> 0:22:03.040 I'm gonna read you a chapter. No. God already knows 0:22:03.080 --> 0:22:06.720 the Bible, he wrote it. Don't do it for his sake, 0:22:06.840 --> 0:22:09.320 do it for your own sake. Keep your heart pure. 0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:13.280 When an opportunity comes up, the first thing we should 0:22:13.280 --> 0:22:16.840 do is check our hearts. Make sure we're doing it 0:22:16.880 --> 0:22:19.480 for the right reason. That's when we're going to really 0:22:19.560 --> 0:22:22.840 have God's blessings in favor. A couple of years ago, 0:22:23.119 --> 0:22:26.399 this man called me. He lived in another country, and 0:22:26.440 --> 0:22:28.679 he asked me to come over and speak for him. 0:22:29.040 --> 0:22:31.320 And normally I don't go out and speak other places 0:22:31.480 --> 0:22:34.040 except the events that we do on the road. But 0:22:34.080 --> 0:22:38.680 what's interesting is this gentleman offered a very substantial donation 0:22:39.400 --> 0:22:41.639 if I would come. It wasn't for me, it was 0:22:41.680 --> 0:22:44.160 for the building project, but it was enough to make 0:22:44.200 --> 0:22:46.960 me think, Wow, this could get us a long ways 0:22:47.000 --> 0:22:49.520 down the road. And at first I began to reason 0:22:49.560 --> 0:22:52.240 it all out. I thought, what's a couple of days 0:22:52.240 --> 0:22:55.000 of my time gonna hurt? I could make an exception 0:22:55.119 --> 0:22:58.359 in this case. We could really use these funds. And 0:22:58.440 --> 0:23:01.520 I don't know, technically there'd have been anything wrong if 0:23:01.600 --> 0:23:04.000 I had gone. But when I really begin to search 0:23:04.040 --> 0:23:06.640 my heart, when I really begin to look down in here, 0:23:07.240 --> 0:23:10.280 I realized that for me, this wasn't gonna be right. 0:23:11.000 --> 0:23:13.520 And don't get me wrong, this man was very sincere, 0:23:13.760 --> 0:23:16.960 he was very generous, but I knew down in here 0:23:17.119 --> 0:23:19.800 the only reason I would really be going was to 0:23:19.800 --> 0:23:22.240 get that donation, and I know that's not right. If 0:23:22.280 --> 0:23:24.800 I can't go to help the people with a pure heart, 0:23:25.200 --> 0:23:27.080 I'm not only gonna waste his time, but I'm gonna 0:23:27.080 --> 0:23:30.440 waste my own time. And so I just graciously declined it, 0:23:30.560 --> 0:23:33.160 and I felt very good about it. And do you know, 0:23:33.400 --> 0:23:36.760 the next couple of weeks we received in the mail 0:23:37.400 --> 0:23:41.800 several large donations from people that had never given to 0:23:41.880 --> 0:23:45.080 our ministry before, and when we added them up, they 0:23:45.160 --> 0:23:48.159 totaled more than double what that man had offered. If 0:23:48.160 --> 0:23:51.359 I'd come to speak for him. Friends, you never miss 0:23:51.400 --> 0:23:54.600 out if you'll just keep your heart pure, if you'll 0:23:54.640 --> 0:23:57.760 honor God by having the right motive, He'll always make 0:23:57.800 --> 0:24:02.240 it up to you in abundance. Believe if I had gone, 0:24:02.400 --> 0:24:05.960 not only would we not have received those other donations, 0:24:06.160 --> 0:24:08.480 but I believe that money that he had given we 0:24:08.680 --> 0:24:11.480 just needed it for something else, just an added expense. 0:24:11.840 --> 0:24:14.960 In other words, we never really gained. One thing I've 0:24:15.040 --> 0:24:17.439 learned is you've got to do things with the right motive. 0:24:17.640 --> 0:24:21.199 You can't fool God. He's keeping the records. And always 0:24:21.240 --> 0:24:25.080 remember he's the one that brings promotion. Promotion doesn't come 0:24:25.119 --> 0:24:28.480 from your boss and your supervisor or your banker. Promotion 0:24:28.640 --> 0:24:33.120 comes from Almighty God. And I'm asking you today. I'm 0:24:33.160 --> 0:24:35.640 asking you today to stay on the high road. I'm 0:24:35.680 --> 0:24:38.080 asking you to make sure that your motives are right. 0:24:38.760 --> 0:24:41.280 When you have a pure heart, that's when you're going 0:24:41.320 --> 0:24:45.040 to increase and experience God's very best. And this inner 0:24:45.080 --> 0:24:48.160 life is so important because on the outside we can 0:24:48.240 --> 0:24:51.000 all put on a good show. I mean, I could 0:24:51.000 --> 0:24:53.800 have gone and spoken for that man and nobody in 0:24:53.840 --> 0:24:56.359 the world would have known it wasn't right except me 0:24:56.480 --> 0:24:59.760 in God. But you know what, he's the one that matters. 0:25:00.119 --> 0:25:02.000 I don't want to fish with a net. I don't 0:25:02.040 --> 0:25:04.240 know about you, but I'm throwing away my fishing pole. 0:25:04.480 --> 0:25:06.360 I'm gonna get on the right side of the boat. 0:25:06.440 --> 0:25:09.480 That's when we can expect a great haul of God's blessings. 0:25:10.080 --> 0:25:13.720 Because you know, too many people today they're like the Pharisees. 0:25:14.160 --> 0:25:17.840 They were pretenders, and when they did good things for people, 0:25:17.840 --> 0:25:20.680 when they gave their gifts, they always made sure they 0:25:20.680 --> 0:25:23.680 did it in public. They wanted everybody to see how 0:25:23.720 --> 0:25:26.760 great they were. Listen, that's a sure sign of a 0:25:26.840 --> 0:25:30.400 wrong motive. The scripture says, when you give don't even 0:25:30.480 --> 0:25:32.960 let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. 0:25:33.400 --> 0:25:36.240 That means this, don't go announce it to everybody, don't 0:25:36.240 --> 0:25:38.479 go make a big deal about it. If you do that, 0:25:38.600 --> 0:25:40.720 you better enjoy it because that's the only reward you're 0:25:40.720 --> 0:25:43.320 gonna give. But on the other hand, if you'll do 0:25:43.400 --> 0:25:47.160 it God's way and give in secret, give without making 0:25:47.160 --> 0:25:49.640 a big deal about it, then the Bible says God 0:25:49.760 --> 0:25:52.920 sees that, and what you do in secret, God will 0:25:52.920 --> 0:25:55.440 reward you openly. I don't know about you, but I'd 0:25:55.480 --> 0:25:58.480 rather get my reward from Almighty God than from other people. 0:26:00.000 --> 0:26:03.400 I think about my father. He was very careful about 0:26:03.480 --> 0:26:07.520 his giving, and he made several large donations to India, 0:26:07.680 --> 0:26:10.359 and more than once the people call back and ask 0:26:10.560 --> 0:26:13.399 if they could put his name on a building, maybe 0:26:13.400 --> 0:26:16.520 a Bible school or some kind of hospital. Now I'll 0:26:16.520 --> 0:26:19.320 never forget what Daddy did. He always told him, no, please, 0:26:19.400 --> 0:26:22.080 don't put my name on anything. That's just between me 0:26:22.320 --> 0:26:25.560 and God. Just keep that quiet. No wonder he was blessed, 0:26:25.600 --> 0:26:28.080 No wonder God honored him. When you go to do 0:26:28.200 --> 0:26:31.080 good things, when you're able to bless somebody, when you 0:26:31.160 --> 0:26:33.760 can just do it in sacred The mark of a 0:26:33.800 --> 0:26:36.159 pure motive is that you want to help others and 0:26:36.200 --> 0:26:39.480 you're not looking for any kind of recognition. The scripture 0:26:39.520 --> 0:26:42.160 says in First Corinthians that we can build on all 0:26:42.200 --> 0:26:46.600 different kinds of foundations, a foundation of wood, of straw, 0:26:46.800 --> 0:26:49.560 of hay, in other words, on things that are not 0:26:49.680 --> 0:26:53.159 going to last, or we can build on a foundation 0:26:53.640 --> 0:26:57.760 made of pure, solid things like gold and silver. And 0:26:57.840 --> 0:27:01.280 one day all of our work will be juds. Every 0:27:01.359 --> 0:27:04.439 motive will be clearly known. Why we did what we 0:27:04.480 --> 0:27:08.119 did will be revealed every person we've helped, every gift 0:27:08.160 --> 0:27:12.000 we've given, every friendship we've developed. The scripture says, all 0:27:12.040 --> 0:27:14.320 of our work will have to pass through the fire, 0:27:14.960 --> 0:27:18.640 and everything done with impure motives will be burned up. 0:27:19.000 --> 0:27:20.760 It may have been a good thing, but if we 0:27:20.800 --> 0:27:23.119 did it for the wrong reason, it's not going to last. 0:27:23.560 --> 0:27:26.360 We will only be rewarded for the things we've done 0:27:26.400 --> 0:27:29.080 with a pure heart. And I'm asking you today to 0:27:29.160 --> 0:27:32.159 go beyond the surface and go a little bit deeper. 0:27:32.359 --> 0:27:35.919 There are already enough pharisees, there are already enough pretenders. 0:27:36.080 --> 0:27:40.480 Let's be real, and David said, God test my motives. 0:27:40.680 --> 0:27:43.280 I want to live according to your truth. That's the 0:27:43.320 --> 0:27:46.240 prayer we should pray every day. God search my heart, 0:27:46.400 --> 0:27:48.479 show me areas I need to change, show me how 0:27:48.520 --> 0:27:51.000 I can come up higher. Friends, I want you to 0:27:51.040 --> 0:27:54.480 receive your full reward. And I know every one of 0:27:54.520 --> 0:27:57.159 you has the seed of a pure heart on the 0:27:57.200 --> 0:28:00.240 inside of you. Right now. God put it there. You 0:28:00.280 --> 0:28:03.800 have to do your part and regularly examine your motives, 0:28:04.440 --> 0:28:07.480 be honest, be willing to change if something's not right. 0:28:07.800 --> 0:28:10.080 You've got to work with God to keep your heart pure. 0:28:10.760 --> 0:28:13.840 We get ourselves into trouble when we feel the conviction. 0:28:14.080 --> 0:28:16.520 We know God's dealing with this, but we just ignore it. 0:28:17.119 --> 0:28:19.320 Now we need to learn to face the truth about 0:28:19.359 --> 0:28:22.320 ourselves and then let's be quick to make the adjustments. 0:28:22.680 --> 0:28:22.800 Now. 0:28:22.800 --> 0:28:24.760 If you'll do your best to keep your heart pure, 0:28:25.040 --> 0:28:27.320 just remember you're not fishing with a little pole, You're 0:28:27.359 --> 0:28:30.439 fishing with a great big net. When you have right motives, 0:28:30.480 --> 0:28:32.720 you're on the right side of the boat. That's when 0:28:32.800 --> 0:28:35.480 God can pour out his blessings and you can expect 0:28:35.560 --> 0:28:38.400 to live that life of victory that He has in store. Amen, 0:28:38.560 --> 0:28:39.520 do you receive it today? 0:28:41.040 --> 0:28:41.680 Or we never like to. 0:28:41.640 --> 0:28:44.960 Propose on broadcast without giving you an opportunity to make 0:28:45.080 --> 0:28:47.880 Jesus the lord of your life. Would you pray with me, 0:28:48.600 --> 0:28:53.760 Just say, Lord Jesus, I'll repent of my sins. Come 0:28:53.760 --> 0:28:57.160 into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior. 0:28:58.560 --> 0:29:00.840 If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 0:29:00.840 --> 0:29:03.960 born again. Get in a good Bible based church.
