First Things First

READ: Luke 10:38-42

Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. —Proverbs 4:7

During World War II, I served as an orthopedic technician in a hospital in England. One day we were cleaning up after putting casts on fractured limbs when I noticed some co-workers goofing off instead of helping. I didn’t hesitate to show my displeasure.

Such incidents are why I usually find myself saying a few words in defense of Martha whenever I preach on Luke 10:38-42. You’ll recall that she was “distracted with much serving” (v.40), while her sister Mary did nothing but listen to Jesus.

It’s easy for me to see Martha’s point of view. In Proverbs, more than a dozen verses rebuke the slothful. And when some first-century Christians quit working and started to freeload off others, Paul laid down the rule: “If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat” (2 Thess. 3:10).

Our approach to work must be balanced. Proverbs 4:7 says, “Wisdom is the principal thing.” Martha could have said, “Mary, dinner can wait. I’ll join you in listening to Jesus before getting started in the kitchen.”

Work is vital. But we should not be so obsessed with it that it crowds out worship and spiritual instruction.

Work hard, but keep first things first. —Herbert Vander Lugt

Thank You Canteen Deejays!

Have to feed kitties and eat dinner, then I'll be back.

I was in Port Orford today inspecting boats.

Nice day BUT never any soup in Port Orford.

Tell your family I said hi and they are always in my prayers.

Carlos Santana was born July 20,1947, in Autlan de Navarro, Mexico. He moved to San Francisco in the early sixties. Since 1966, he has led the group that bears his surname, along the way selling over 40 million albums and performing live before over 15 million people. On over forty albums spanning forty years Santana's artistry has been described as transcendent, spiritual, stunning and genius. He has crossed over all genres, orchestrated numerous "comebacks" and cultivated tens of millions of devoted fans world-wide bridging generations, international boundaries and languages. I'm one of his fans and this weekend I'm celebrating 40 years of SANTANA. I hope you'll join me and enjoy.
