When Jesus got upset with the Pharisees, the Sadducees, the religious leaders, etc….He Went Off….

 

He called them out and He called them out BIG TIME.

 

He called them Hypocrites.  Which I would say is Two-Faced or Fake.

 

Who is your God?  Or should I ask: What is your god?

 

As I ended a long day today and heard the song “Yours Will Be” by Big Daddy Weave…..but it sure hit home…..

 

What do I care what the world thinks?

 

I really only care, at the end of the day, what God thinks.

 

I mean, really—–if I live for Him—–and Him alone—-then my life would be really well lived.

 

And as I sat and sang that song to the Lord—I was deeply convicted by this.

 

He is the one I live for….because if I live for Him—then EVERYTHING ELSE will line up….and if it doesn’t—then maybe I was in the wrong line in the first place.

 

Paul is expressing the heart of God when he writes this:

Philippians 1:9-11

9 And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, 10 so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.

 

Faith in the Lord is a really simple thing:  We make Him the center.

 

And that simple line in the song says it all:

The Only Thing That Matters To Me

 

When what He thinks is The Only Thing That Matters To Me my life begins to change and He begins to give me the character that I want others to believe about me.

 

When what He thinks is The Only Thing That Matters To Me my actions begin to not be in line with what He wants me to do and not what I think others want me to do.

 

Being duplicit, or TWO-FACED occurs when I have two masters.  A student of mine would say FAKE…..

 

I don’t want to be FAKE.

 

I want my God to say that I am REAL….and that I do exactly what He wants me to do.

 

I want His Name to be THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS TO ME.

In The Name of the Father and the

Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
