"But all their works they do for to be seen of men" (Matthew 23:5a)
Unless we have invested a great deal of time in our secret ministry to the Lord then the shallowness of our public ministry will be very evident. Today it is abundantly clear that not enough time is spent ministering to the Lord, and way too much time is spent ministering to people; hence, most of what is done in the name of ministry is performed in a fleshly, human way which never bears any lasting fruit.

hmm... have you been reading my sermon notes for tomorrow?
pj
yeah, u're right =)
i was just thinking of this yesterday. haha.
we constantly need to remind ourselves to wait on the Lord to renew our strength..
Short, but to the point! Is it possible that true ministry only comes from the outflow of our ministry unto the Lord? We all need a revelation of how our ministry unto the Lord delights the very heart of God! David - recognized by God as the "man after God's own heart" - knew the value of such a life!
