Victoria and I are always blessed to have you join us for the podcast and know that we pray for you and just speaking blessings over you and your family.

It is such a joy to know that you are out there putting the Word of God in you. I know you're going to love this message.

God bless you. It's a joy to come into your homes each week and we come with good news. We know that God is on your side and we just believe that

he's going to bless you today for tuning in. We know he rewards people that seek after him.

So thanks for tuning in. If you're ever in our area, come out and see us, give you a personal

invitation. You'll love our new facility and we'd love to meet you one-on-one, so stop by whenever

you can. You know, I like to

get started each week with something kind of funny, and I heard about these three aspiring

psychiatrists. They were taking their first test on emotional extremes. And the professor asked

the first student from the University of Arkansas, what's the opposite of sadness? He replied happiness. He asked the next student from Oklahoma, what's the opposite of sadness? He replied happiness.

He asked the next student from Oklahoma, what's the opposite of depression?

He replied, joy.

He asked the third student from Texas A&M, what's the opposite of woe?

W-O-E.

The Aggie looked kind of confused, and finally he said, gitty up. Hold up your Bible. Say it like

you mean it. Are you ready? This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have.

I can do what it says I can do. Today I will be taught the Word of God. I boldly confess, my mind is alert,

my heart is receptive, I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want to talk

to you today about the importance of having pure motives. What we do is not near as important as why we do it.

Because we can do the right thing and have the wrong motive,

and the truth is we're not going to be blessed.

And I know people today, they're very nice and kind to somebody.
