Welcome to the InTouch Podcast with Charles Stanley for Monday, May 29.

As Christians, our motivating desire should be to develop a heart for God.

Today's lesson from the Old Testament provides some valuable insight.

What do you want to be remembered for when you pass on?

The truth is, all of us, again, leave some kind of a witness, a testimony of some sort,

and the question is what kind of person do we want to be?

What do we want to be remembered for?

And if you'll think about in the Scriptures, all of this awesome, godly men and women,

they weren't perfect.

They were all imperfect and all sinned and all failed in many ways.

But you think about all of those for all the way back from Adam and then of course, Joshua

and Moses and David and Daniel and Peter and John and all the rest.

All of God's sermons out there.

should be the kind of person all of us should be and should want to be.

We're not all going to be alike.

We can't be alike and looks, we can't be alike in our possessions and so forth, but

we can have a similarity within our spirit.
