Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-His good, pleasing and perfect will. – Romans 12:2

Paul said that we believer are not same with people in who does not know the Living God is. But you got to notice that we all live in this world where believer and non believer are interact each other. We have our audiences. What audience do you play to? Each day you are seen by many who will make a judgment about the way you handle yourself among different audiences. Politicians have learned to play to their audiences. I believe that America Presidential Candidates are customizing their messages for the needs of USA and particular groups right now. Pastors play to their congregations every week. Workplace believers play to the audiences who will buy their product.

God has been called us to play to one audience – the audience of Himself. When you seek to please any other audience in your life, you will become susceptible to situational ethics and motivations based on the need for the moment. Your audience becomes a pawn in your hands because you know what they want. Is that wrong? Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn’t.

Pure obedience to pleasing God in our lives will often meet the needs of those around us. It is God’s will that you and I love our spouses, provide good services to our customers, and look to the interests of others before ourselves. This will result in meeting many needs of the audiences in our lives.

However, there are other times when our audiences are asking for something contrary to God’s will. Politicians are often forced to appease their audiences, even though it may go against God’s laws.

Question yourself:

• When I am asked to go with the flow, which audience is most important in my life? Is it the audience of the one Himself, or the audience of many?

• Why I am taking a particular action? Is it to please the audience of the one Himself?
