Pleasing God Rather Than Men

Reading: 1 Thessalonians 2:1-8
Are we comfortable in sharing that we are Christians? Would we suffer for the Gospel, and sing praises to God while we are suffering? We are not called to share error, but truth, not as part of an agenda, but with pure motives. We are called to be straight forward and truthful. Have we been approved by God? What is our heart about, would it stand the test Paul and Silas faced? We do not speak to please men. We are not greedy, not here to get something out of it. We are not here for the glory or to boast. Christians are here to nurture, like a mother tenderly feeding a newborn, not to overwhelm with our knowledge.
