Self-seeking, men-pleasing ministers

 "For do I now persuade men, or God?
or do I seek to please men?
for if I yet pleased men,
I should not be the servant of Christ." Galatians 1:10

A fearless disregard of . . .
smiles or frowns,
character or consequences,
opposition or approbation,
pay or popularity,
will always distinguish the true servant of Christ
from self-seeking, men-pleasing ministers.

" But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel,
 even so we speak;
not as pleasing men,
but God, which trieth our hearts." 1Th 2:4

J. C. Philpot, The Precepts of the Word of God
