“You Don’t Want This Smoke!”
1 Cor. 3:12-15. NASB

I. The Material
– We are building with durable materials or combustible materials.
– our motives reveal the quality of the material.
– what are your motives?

II. The Manifestation
– every believer will receive an efficiency report
-ever believer will give an account of themselves to the Lord
– Hudson Taylor: I asked God to help me. Then I asked if I might help Him do His work through me.

How do I pray like this?

Eph. 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

1. With humility & expectancy
2. Look for His activity

-It’s hard to hear God’s voice when you’ve already decided what you want Him to say.

III. The Merits & Demerits.

Leonard Ravenhill – if we displease God, does it matter whom we please?
