In His Sermon on the Mount, Jesus teaches that our heavenly Father expects moral behavior from His people.  Moreover, He expects that behavior to be motivated by proper motives and attitudes.  “Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day He visits us” (1 Peter2:12)  God is looking for us to do the proper things not because we want to please others, but so that God may be glorified.  Paul wrote, “We are not trying to please people but God, who tests our hearts” (1 Thessalonians 2:4b)  As redeemed people, we strive to do right, because God deserves nothing less from us.  For more information about stewardship, please contact Max Buban.
