All believers are admonished to glorify God in everything we do, even the small things, and this is made clear in 1 Cor. 10:31, “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.” With a subject of this importance where are the messages showing us how to accomplish this? This entire series is dedicated to what glorifying God is and how it is possible for a created being to glorify their Creator.

This considers why only one glorified God when Jesus performed the miracle of healing ten lepers. They had all been healed but only one responded by giving God glory with a loud voice. The other nine experienced miraculous healing and even heard the tenth one giving God glory but still missed it, and left with only relief and gratitude. What did he realize that caused him to respond the right way?

A major dilemma for today’s believers is the diversity of beliefs in denominations, bible versions, pastors, teachers and even those who attend the same churches. No matter where a person may turn for reliable answers they will find differences of opinions. Confusion is minimized only when we choose to trust a single source. The problem is who is right. That brings us back to trusting ourselves to decide. The problem then is how we can know that we are right; Knowing God as We Ought To.

This message touches on a variety of issues but the main focus is 1 Cor. 8:2 “And if any man think that he knoweth anything, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.”

One of the greatest questions in life is, “Why God?” Why did you let this happen, why didn’t you stop that, why don’t you heal more, why don’t you bless our efforts more, why don’t you answer our prayers, the list is nearly endless. From our point of view God could, and should fix a lot more than he does. So why doesn’t he?

This message is about understanding why God does things the way he does and how he wants us to respond when our desires conflict with His.

This message is the first part in a study of why, we as believers, are so fearful about problems in life and how we can gain in faith and live in peace even in the worst of times.

In Mark chapter 4, Jesus calmed the sea, saving all those with Him and all the other ships also. Afterward Jesus asked the question, “Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?” The response was not that of gratitude or relief. Surprisingly we read in the next verse; “And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”

Jesus question was no doubt a rhetorical one that was intended to get those, that He had just saved, to question themselves and realize how foolish their response was. The question applies just as much to us today and maybe even more because we know from Hebrews 11:6 that faith is essential for us to please God.

In this message there are three life altering questions asked and answered, that can give us a reason to pause and consider what our daily efforts are creating, as we hurriedly stack one day on another like the building blocks of life. The Questions: Who Is God? Who Are We? What Does God Want?

Few people have time to think about the really important questions in life. They are busy just making ends meet, having fun and solving problems. If asked the question, why were you born, their first thought may be, what are you talking about, I don’t have time to think about things like that, but a question like that can change a life. We are easily overwhelmed with life’s details and we lose sight of what it is all about. Like a brick layer focusing on how many bricks he is laying every day no longer thinks about what he is building or how important it is or who will benefit by his work.

This message continues the study of our motives in serving God and how easily our efforts can change from serving in love into a service of duty.

We are much like Cain and Abel. Both had a desire to please the LORD with their offerings, but Abel’s offering was from the heart as evidence of his appreciation for the LORD’s blessings and his motive was the LORD’s pleasure. Whereas Cain’s offering was meant to gain more favor by impressing the LORD with the quality of his efforts.

Jesus said “If ye love me keep my commandments”. We see things from the outside, like keeping a score board. How many in attendances, offering sizes, number of conversions and so on and if they show growth they make us feel successful but Jesus said “without me ye can do nothing”. The way to tell the difference between the outward appearance and the heart is who you want to benefit from your efforts.
