Acts 24
from Come To The Table · host Pastor Mark Kirk
I once attempted to “butter up” my parents to convince them to allow me to buy a PlayStation. I did extra chores around the house, I helped my sisters with their tasks, and I even spent time studying for upcoming exams! My efforts became more obvious when I tried to flatter my parents more openly and blatantly. The Bible warns against flattery, and in today’s message, pastor Mark does the same, noting how flattery not only can distract, but may also detract from the words one has to share. Keep in mind the sincerity of your speech to others and how you go about speaking in your day-to-day interactions.
