Where Are The Men? | Proverbs 20:6-7 | Thomas Delp

What happens to our motives when serving God becomes costly? In 1 Thessalonians 2:1-8, Paul describes a ministry that survived suffering, opposition, temptation, and the pressure of people. He did not use deceit, uncleanness, guile, flattering words, covetousness, or the glory of men. His reason was plain: God had put him in trust with the gospel, and God tried his heart. Then Paul shows the other side of right motives. He was gentle. He cared for people. He was willing not only to give them the gospel of God, but to pour his own soul into them. Stress reveals what praise and easy days can hide. Are we serving to please men or God? Are we protecting our image, or are we caring for souls? Join Pastor Ed Decker at Arnold Baptist Tabernacle as he preaches from 1 Thessalonians 2:1-8 and asks a searching question: How much stress can your motives take? KEY VERSE - 1 THESSALONIANS 2:4 KJB "But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts." What happens to your motives when pressure rises? Paul was opposed, mistreated, and tested. But he did not turn to deceit, flattery, covetousness, or the praise of men. He kept the gospel entrusted to him. He stayed gentle. He cared for souls. He was willing to give more than a message. He was willing to give himself.

The sermon analyzes Romans 14 and 15, emphasizing the command for believers to accept one another in non-essential matters to maintain unity and glorify God. It argues that Christ served both Jews and Gentiles, confirming God's covenant promises to Israel while extending mercy to the nations. The preacher strongly rejects spiritualized interpretations of the Abrahamic Covenant, asserting that ethnic distinctions remain vital within the body of Christ. By citing multiple Old Testament passages, the text illustrates how Gentile inclusion fulfills prophetic hope without erasing national identities. Ultimately, the message calls Christians to live by faith, relying on the Holy Spirit's power to abound in hope and peace.

The Bible gives us a description of the glory of the LORD. We should not accept the testimony of professing Christians (and others), especially when that testimony contradicts the Bible! Also Reference: Joshua 7:6, Revelation 1:14-16, John 3:7, 1 John 1:3 https://bbfohio.com
