The more we read and study the Scriptures, the more we (or at least for me) I am compelled to reflect on why I do the things I do. God’s love for each person is intense, drawing us to Himself. I feel compelled to self examine my motives and avoid the cultural trend to be an average church goer. I do not know what that means or will mean, but I don’t want to keep on comparing myself to others. Paul’s words hit me -
“Now the goal of our instruction is love that comes from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith. Some have departed from these and turned aside to fruitless discussion.”
1 Timothy 1:5-6
Paul had no hidden agenda in his approach with people. I want to be that type of guy whose character is being changed. I do not want to have any regrets by developing a pure heart and a good conscience, changing fruitless conversations into worthwhile and meaningful discussions.
