PURE LOVE by Ken Brown - Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 1 Corinthians 13:1 The Bible says, All a persons ways seem pure to them, but motives are weighed by the LORD (Proverbs 16:2, NIV). In todays culture we must carefully evaluate our motives and methods in the Lords work. Its not how many people we draw to the pews; its how many hearts we draw to the Lord. Its not just a matter of success; its a matter of sincerity. The love of Christ should compel us. Learn to ask the Lord to refine and purify your motives. He knows the thoughts and intents of the heart, and He can enable us to do the right things in the right ways for the right reasons. Only one act of pure love, unsullied by any taint of ulterior motive, has ever been performed in the history of the world, namely the self-giving of God in Christ on the cross. John Stott
