Matthew 6:1-6; 16-18
Authentic Spirituality

Whether we like to admit it or not, we all value what other people think of us.  Sometimes this bleeds into our spirituality, which then tempts us to practice our Christian lives with an eye to an audience.  Jesus would have none of us this for us.  Rather thank play-acting our spirituality, Jesus suggests an alternative way to live our lives, a way that adjusts our intentions and motivations to the One that matters.
