The Main Thing

People get so distracted in church.

They have problems with money and giving. No time to serve. They disagree with the leaders. Don't like this. Don't like that. Who cares?

If the main thing is the main thing, then it doesn't really matter.

If we really first value reaching people and seeing them become radical followers of Christ. Then everything else is really secondary.

We can't get offended and stop going to church. Why? Because, no matter what the local church is the place in which people are able to become disciples of Christ. So, if its really about the main thing, then we got to still keep showing up at church.

Talking about money shouldn't make us mad. Why? Because the money that is given to the house of God is used to reach people. You know? The main thing. So, if we really care about the main thing then we have no problem giving.

Leaders of a church want to reach people, right? Or do people become leaders in church, because of the lucrative salary packages or short hours. Of course not? They want to reach people, so if they want to reach people doesn't it make sense to honor their leadership. Unless, we really don't care about the main thing.

Just saying, shouldn't it be about the main thing.
