A Right Motive
Mark 9:41
For whoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you belong to Christ, truly I say to you…


It is said that when Andrew Fuller went into his native town to collect for the cause of missions, one of his old acquaintances said, "Well, Andrew, I'll give five pounds, seeing it's you. No," said Mr. Fuller, I can take nothing for this cause, seeing it's me: — and handed the money back. The man felt reproved, but in a moment he said, "Andrew, you are right. Here are ten pounds, seeing it is for the Lord Jesus Christ."
