Has anyone noticed the little phrase at the bottom of our church sign? It says “come meet with God.” If you’re coming for other reasons then you need to make sure that it doesn’t interfere with this primary objective. Because if you come for community, for help in time of need, for encouragement, all of which are not wrong, but if you gain those things but don’t meet with God then you’ve missed it. Seeking to please man, even if that is ourselves, is not what true worship is about. We are to seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all the other things will be added, or taken care of. This morning our text will deal with a people pleaser, someone who is attempting to navigate a political fence. It is an example for how Christians ought not to behave.
