What is the one thing that is at the center of your life?
While most people of faith will automatically answer "God," is that truly the case? How much time does the average person, even one who claims to be spiritual, spend in worship, meditation, prayer and spiritual discipline each day? Each week? Each year?
If God truly is to be the center of our existence as Christians, why is that the case? I would suggest we are not just reborn into the family of God so that we can go to Heaven at the end of this life, live more respectable social lives, or even be more pure and set apart to holiness. I will suggest that while all of those are reasons to believe, perhaps the greatest reason I believe in the teachings of Jesus and the God revealed in Scripture is because He gives me a way in which to view all other things in my life from a proper perspective. If God is central, then everything is is naturally and rightfully peripheral. And that is how it is supposed to be.
More to come...
