Do motives matter?

Motives are important in the Christian life. However, a perpetual introspection and self-analysis of one's motives is not what the Scripture encourages. Rather, it exhorts us to be men and women of character.

"The individuals in the hall of faith are not there because of the tenacity of their 'desire for God'. They are there because their faith showed itself in obedience." (p. 61)

“Nowhere in Scripture is one encouraged to develop a philosophy of Christian living, beyond the instruction which Christ Himself has given: the duty of service (Lk. 17:10; Rom. 12:1).”
Enoch Burke, The Hedonism and Homosexuality of John Piper and Sam Allberry: The Truth of Scripture

“The revival of England under the Wesley brothers was no accident, but born of a return to a living faith, birthed in the heart of Susannah Wesley, their mother, who reputedly said: ‘There are two things to do about the gospel: believe it and behave”
Enoch Burke, The Hedonism and Homosexuality of John Piper and Sam Allberry: The Truth of Scripture

“If [John] Piper's beliefs on authority clash with the doctrine of the Reformers as I argue, one would expect that Piper would have much less conflict with Roman Catholicism than the Reformers did. This is indeed the case. In fact, Piper's mystic hedonism is leading evangelicals on a fast trot back to Rome, where mystics have long nestled under its skirts.”

Enoch Burke, The Hedonism and Homosexuality of John Piper and Sam Allberry: The Truth of Scripture

“Perhaps the most serious error of Allberry's use of the phrase 'same-sex attracted' is that it is without biblical precedent. Homosexuality in Scripture is never once merely described as a 'temptation' nor are homosexual feelings ever discussed without a link to homosexual conduct. Allberry may find such concepts elsewhere in the realm of psychology but they are alien to Christian theology.”
