Second Best (Mothers Day 2013) Luke 14:26 This mothers Day message is about Families putting God First and others second.Our Lord expects to be first in our lives above all others including our family and friends. Jesus is saying that our love for Him is to be PRIMARY! Our love for everything, and everyone else, including our families, is to be SECONDARY! Family life has changed dramatically over the last thirty years. Nothing has made a greater impact on redefining the home than the work schedules of mom and dad. There was a time when families did everything together. In rural America families work all day on the farm together, they sat down and ate every meal as a family and they played together. Today many families only pass one another at the front door as they are running from place to place.The first priority in serving our families is to maintain a rich personal relationship with Christ. We are not talking about a one-day a week faith that comes to life on Sunday. We are talking about a daily walk. If we fail to have a strong relationship with God we will have nothing of value to share with those around us. I am not talking about church work. I am not talking about serving communion, etc. I am talking about a relationship with Jesus Christ where we spend time praying, reading his Word as we allow the Lord to speak to us through the scriptures.Love Jesus More than Yourself!
