Read the Bible in a Year 
This evening read First Corinthians 10:19--33 


Seeking the Profit of Others 


Paul said that He would not give offense to anyone outside the church or to the church of God, 

33 just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved (1 Cor. 10:33). 

How contrary that is to the way the world thinks. The world lives for itself first, and most of the time, only for itself. However, in Christ, life is much different and we enjoy it that way. The different way of Christ is J.O.Y. 

Jesus first 
Others second 
Yourself third 

Live this way and see the joy you bring others, the glory you bring to God, and the satisfaction you experience.
