What's your motive?

1 CorinthiansIn the second half of chapter 14 of 1 Corinthians, we read about the need to regulate the use of the gift of tongues.  What Paul discusses here can be applied to any gift of the Holy Spirit.  That is to say, when we use our gifts, we should be glorifying God and helping others to grow closer to Him.  If we're just speaking in tongues to feel important, there's no point.  Likewise, if you're playing an instrument in worship to God, but are really focusing on how much people look up to you for that, there's no point.  You need to do these things for the glory of God and to help others to see His glory.  That's the point!  What's your motive?
