Throughout man’s sordid history, people have mocked, rejected, and forsaken the Lord. They have chosen to look to gods that cannot save or help.
No man is to be respected above another person in a form of unrighteous judgment. However, does not infer nondiscrimination in every matter.
It is imperative that each believer not only do what is right, but also examine himself to make sure that he is doing what is right for the right reasons.
It is always right to do right, but it is more perfectly right to do right for the right reasons. In other words, serve the Lord, but do so out of a pure motive.
One must choose his reward for actions taken. Would he rather receive eternal reward from God the Father, or temporary praise and recognition from his peers?
