We do not seek to be seen by men. We do not ware broad fancying clothing to be seen by men. We do not love the most important rooms for our feast. We do not want the best seats at worship so we can be seen. We do not seek to receive everyone's greeting when we are out and about. We do not want to be call Rabbi. (Matt 23:5-7) All of these things put the praise and attention of men first. What do we want? We want to be servants. We are unprofitable servants at that. (Luke 17:10) We want the praise and attention we receive in our lives to be last. We want our service to God and others to be first.
Make sure you are taking into account eternity with every choice you make about fun and pleasure. We will all be held accountable. As a family, we want to cultivate an environment that continually produces good wholesome fun. “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.” 1 Corinthians 5:10 NKJV
