Motives
I really can't tell you why I have this on my mind.......maybe I have some inner battle going on that is haunting me. Maybe Phillip Yancey's book is leading me in this direction. Maybe I have it on my mind after having been to an assembly for praise and worship this morning.....a very positive one I may add. Maybe it was something Craig, Bobby or Monte said in their class dealing with the Psalms this morning. Maybe something I have read in the Blog community got me going here. Maybe it was something Patrick or Rich said last week at OCU. I confess I don't know. All I know is that it has been on mind today, and so I want to share it with you.
It's an excerpt from T.S. Eliot's "Murder In The Cathedral".
"THE LAST TEMPTATION IS THE GREATEST TREASON: TO DO THE RIGHT DEED FOR THE WRONG REASON".
Ok I know it's not scripture, but scripture teaches us the same principle or truth.
Yes, of course I have done it. Maybe that is why I have it on my mind.....to help guard me from doing it again, and again, and again.
Thanks for allowing me to share.

I struggle with this daily--the area I fight it the most is whether I am doing things to make me look good to make God look good.

Thanks for Eliot's words. It summarizes one of top fears. I'm a chronic self-doubter for this reason.
This is a struggle of mine as well. Sometimes I just don't WANT to do the right thing! I just have to pray that God will keep molding me.
