Do all things for God’s glory.—1 Cor. 10:31.




We help draw people to Jehovah when we display such qualities
as long-suffering, love, and kindness. Some who observe us may
desire to learn about Jehovah, his purposes, and his people.

The attitude and conduct of true Christians stand in sharp contrast
with the mere outward show of godly devotion of those whose worship
is often no more than a hypocritical ploy. Some religious leaders have
become wealthy by defrauding their flocks, using much of the money
thus obtained to acquire expensive homes and automobiles
—and in one case, an air-conditioned dog kennel.

Indeed, many who claim to be followers of Christ have
no inclination to “give free.â€￾ (Matt. 10:8)

Instead, like the wayward priests of ancient Israel, they
“instruct just for a priceâ€￾—and much of what they teach
is unscriptural. (Mic. 3:11)


Such hypocritical conduct does not reconcile anyone to God.
