As we prepare for the Spring Holydays this year I want to discuss the topic of motivation. What is your motivation to be in the Church of God? What motive do you have to grow and change your life? What is your motivation to be in the Kingdom of God? The reason I ask these questions is that there are three types of human motivation. All three can work. However, two out of the three are only temporary forms of motivation. They only last for a short time. Only one of the three types of motivation is lasting, and promotes continuous change.
