Matthew 5-8

Christians are all equipped to serve others. In the course of touching the lives of others in the name of Jesus somebody will notice what we do. I was recently told by two people that they had made it a point to watch what I have been doing. I don't normally preach on Sunday mornings, though every fourth month I teach some grade school kids during the sermon. I don't sing on the praise team. I'm not an usher or a perpetual communion server. Both of these two commented, "you do a lot of little things." Jesus began Matthew 6 with the warning, "don't do your acts of righteousness in order to be seen.". Jesus wasn't saying our good works HAVE to be invisible to count. The problem comes when our motivation becomes the attention of other people noticing us. Our motivation should be to do whatever pleases God.
