The Main Thing
This month I spoke at a conference for women. The messages were prepared in advance…just the way I prefer. Then wouldn’t you know it? The Holy Spirit spoke to my heart and at the last minute the topic was changed. I spoke on the main thing. The purpose God had in the beginning. The purpose of the Bible. The purpose of Jesus. It is not fellowship, teaching or worship. We get this mixed up. One reason I don’t like so many conferences for women is that they are what I call fluff. I don’t have time for fluff. We forget the main thing. I get it mixed up too. Sometimes I get so into my story and forget that my purpose is to be part of His story. I forget that the main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing. The main thing is the Gospel. Matt. 28:18-20. Everything is about the Gospel. Without the Gospel there is nothing. Everything that we do should be in light of this. How do we get so off target? How does the church get so off target? How do we get so comfortable? We have the responsibility to share the Gospel with everyone. Father, I pray that we would get in touch with your story and how you want us to participate in what you are doing.
