1 Corinthians 3

Paul showed that anything done to build up the church must have Jesus at the heart of it. Each person's work will be tested by God to see if it measures up. Even when the right thing seems foolish to the world, do it anyway; don't be afraid to look foolish for God.

God sees into our hearts and sees not just what we do, but why we do it. Take care to ensure your actions are in line with God's will and that love for Him is the central motivator. Using this guideline as your measuring stick for everything you do may not make you look cool to your friends and family, but they're not the ones you need approval from.
