bible study note

Lk 16:15 He said to them, ou are the ones who justify yourselves b  in the eyes of men, but God knows your hearts. c  What is highly valued among men is detestable in God sight. -->
 don;t i constantly justify my mistakes by shifting the blame to someone or something else? isn;t it always a big temptation for me? God is the God who looks into our hearts, even by justifying ourselves we are highly valued by the world but become detestable in God's sight, what is the point then? are we serving God or the world?



Pr 9:10 he fear of the LORD  d is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One e  is understanding. f  -->
seeing and responding to life's situations from God's frame of reference 

Phil 2:19 I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy b  to you soon, c  that I also may be cheered when I receive news about you.
Phil 2:20 I have no one else like him, d  who takes a genuine interest in your welfare.
Phil 2:21 For everyone looks out for his own interests, e  not those of Jesus Christ.
Phil 2:22 But you know that Timothy has proved himself, because as a son with his father f  he has served with me in the work of the gospel-->do we do what we are doing now for our own interest or interest of Jesus? devoting ourselves to sing beauitful worshiping songs, are we doing it to make us feel good or earnestly worship Him in our truth and spirit? do i constantly search my heart and clarify the motives of my deeds? are i really serving Jesus or in fact serving myself? how do i make sure that my motives are transparent and only for His cause??????
