<div class="SSN_intro">Intro: 4th section of sermon.<br><br>2nd principle.<br><br>The Christian living his life in this world in the presence of God and submission to Him.<br><br>This chapter in two sections: Our religious life and our worldly life.<br><br>Very searching, a revealing chapter.</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">I. THE PRINCIPLE, "TAKE HEED THAT YE DO NOT YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS BEFORE MEN TO BE SEEN OF MEN."</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. Word "alms."</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. The fine balance of Christian life.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. "Let your light so shine."</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">C. The real choice is pleasing God or pleasing self.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. "Righteousness before men..." is it not men or God?</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Why do we want to please man?</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. So they will think well of us.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Subtleness of sin. What might appear to be a very selfless act may in reality be very selfish.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">D. We need constant reminders of our relationship to God.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Supreme object in life to please Him.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Christ so lived.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. We live continually in His presence.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. He knows our hearts. "Ye are they that do justify yourselves before men, but God knoweth your hearts; for that which is highly esteemed amongst men is abomination in the sight of God."</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">E. Next - the question of rewards.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Quite right to seek the reward of God.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Christ, "who for the joy that was set..."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. Moses realized the "recompense of reward."</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">F. No reward from God for those who seek it from man.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. If as I am preaching the gospel, my chief concern is what people think of my preaching, I have my reward.</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">II. RIGHT AND WRONG WAY TO GIVE.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. Wrong way is to announce it (sound a trumpet).</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. So to give as to draw attention.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Lady going into new work "by faith."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. Keep eyes off numbers. Like to tell how many saved, etc.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Want people to say isn't that wonderful, "they have their reward."</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. Right way is not to let left hand know what the right is doing.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Do not announce to others.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Do not announce to yourself. Don't try to keep books.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. I don't think there is anyone who likes a braggart, but it's difficult not to pride yourself because you are not like him.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">4. Let God keep the books.</div>
