Good Saturday Morning!!!

1. Question – Are you the type of person who would teach someone without loving them?

2. Thought – Don’t be quick to answer.

What do you think and feel when you are in a group of people? Are you overly aware of the ones who are wealthy, attractive, or have something they can offer you? Do you worry about what people think of you? Or do you look for ways to love and opportunities to give? A sure sign of a loveless heart is seeing people as a means to your own ends – they listen to you, give you affirmation when you want it, stay out of the way when you don’t, etc. Teaching other people with this type of mentality is bound to be sterile and unfruitful. According to Paul, every time we try to teach someone with this mentality, we can be sure that we have become nothing more than a clanging gong or resounding symbol; we have made ourselves both annoying and irrelevant.
