This week, Paul gives us insight to a Christian’s Secret to Life, the ONE THING! Many people try to figure out what the one thing is and live out this philosophy. They make their spouse, their kids, or their family their “one thing.” They spend most of their time, energy, and resources focusing on providing, supporting, encouraging those people. Other make their one thing their job, their company, their corporate dream. Others, make it some materialistic dream or idealistic lifestyle, their own created utopia. The problem is we really don’t have the power to make life what we want it to be. We are not the source of our lives, the ruler of our lives, and we don’t ultimately determine the goal of our lives. Yahweh is the creator of all things and the source of our life. Before his encounter with Jesus, Paul found his identity in the law and his religious ambition.
