Thirty | Motive: What’s The Real Reason You Did That?

In this episode of Man Talk, Vince Miller is joined by Tyler VanEps. www.beresolute.org There is this proverb that says, “All a person’s ways seem pure to them, but motives are weighed by the Lord.” In other words, there is this inconsistency between our motive and action. While we present our good deeds as being done for the benefit of others we often do it to get more self-benefit. I think this is why Jesus encourages us to do some things in secret rather than public. Because in secret we cannot hide from God. He knows our heart, and we can know him, and hopefully, we can do business with the heart that indeed seeks praise and recognition more than the benefit of others.
