Importance

Philosophers could argue over the question of 'importance' and never really come up with a solid answer. 

What is important for you, may not be important for me. 

Who is important for me, may not even appear on your radar. 

Sadly, sometimes the church gets caught up in side-issues; things that are not as important the gospel. Political parties make a habit of losing focus and becoming distracted. Families can be the same and even schools and other communities. 

Staying focused is hard, but important!

"I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me. Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said." - 1 Corinthians 15:3

"It’s not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What’s important is that God makes the seed grow." - 1 Corinthians 3:7

What is Important?

“If everything is important, then nothing is.” - Patrick Lencioni

I love this quote, because it speaks to my heart. There are so many things that I believe are important, but they can't all be EQUALLY important - it is just not possible. It ties into the old saying, "Jack of all trades, becomes a master of none!" As soon as we try to do everything we end up dropping the ball in some of these same areas. Life is just like that.

So, what are the really important things in your life at the moment? If you are battling to answer the question, then just reflect on where you are spending the majority of your time - that will give you an indicator.

Mark 12:29 - “The most important one (command),” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.
