Keeping the Main Thing, The Main Thing

A church is not a church unless it keeps the main thing, the main thing.

In Acts 6, early followers of Christ in the 1st century church understood that if they must not let the urgency of needs hinder them from doing what they are suppose to do. They were preaching and praying, so when important some administrative issues arose, instead of neglecting their primary mission, they selected others to do what they didn’t have time to do.

The needs were important, but followers of Christ like myself have to be careful we stay on task and do what we are called to do, what we are most passionate about, what we are the most gifted in, what makes us tick, etc.

Sometimes the urgency of others can take us out of our game and make use drift from doing those things we are most passionate about and gifted in to things that we can do.

I know I hate doing something I hate to do even though I can do. I love finding people who love to do the things I hate to do. Believe me there are people who love to do the most simple of things like file stuff, my wife loves it but to me, its just a job.

Keep the main thing, the main thing!!
