Who do we want praise from???

We need to honestly ask our selves this question: Do we seek man's praise or praise from God more?



John 12:42-43



42 Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; 43 for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.



Look at the danger of what was happening here. Many of the rulers believed in Jesus BUT because of what other people thought (Pharisees) They did not confess Jesus as Lord! Oh my! How much is this happening today? Way too much. Too many folks are worried about what others think instead of what God thinks. This is a dangerous game. Belief in Jesus is not enough for even the demons believe. We must believe and confess Jesus as Lord and Savior of our life. Repent of our sins and follow after Him. For when we do this the praise of men will mean nothing but the praise of God will mean everything!!!



So this morning look at your life and determine who you are seeking praise from.
