No matter where you're listening to this right now, I want you to stop and ask yourself this question: What is driving you right now?
What is motivating you to do the thing that you're doing?
Now, you could have just come out of a sin.
You could be on your way to work.
You could be on your way to spend some money that you shouldn't be spending.
Or you could be on your way to church to go honor and glorify the Lord.
I don't know where you're at.
But it's good and healthy to stop and ask ourselves: what's driving us?
At the end of the day, why do I do what I do?
Why am I obeying?
Why am I not obeying?
What is behind the source of my life?
Well, that's what this conversation is going to talk about.
And I'm going to promise you at the end of this, you are going to be shocked by God's grace.
So, to stay to the end, and I promise you, in a good way, God's grace will refresh and shock you once again.
Stay tuned.
Ever read the Bible and walk away feeling like you're failing?
No matter how hard you try, you're never measuring up.
That's not a motivation problem, that's a reading problem.
Most people have never been taught how to read the Bible the way Jesus taught it.
