Pastor Lowell's Sermon 5/13/2007

The Enemy of Intimacy

Points to Ponder:

Busyness causes us to get DISTRACTED (OFF TRACK) from what is really important.

Busyness causes us to lose PERSPECTIVE.

Luke 10:38-42

At the Home of Martha and Mary

38 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39 She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. 40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!"

41 "Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."

1. There's a big difference between what's URGENT and what's IMPORTANT.

2. There's a difference between whats GOOD and what's BEST.

3. ACTIVITIES should never take priority over PEOPLE.

4. A lot of what we do in life may be MEASURABLE in the short run, but it's neither measurable nor MEMORABLE in the long run.

5. Our busyness is probably DRIVEN by something we aren't even AWARE of.
