The One Necessary Thing offers practical advice on how to put Jesus first in everyday life.
Intentionally spending time with Jesus (first and foremost) will help you navigate life’s challenges—from managing stress to making important decisions— with a Christ-centered approach.
Life is full of decisions on how to spend your time, where to focus your attention, and what to do with your money and talents. Like everyone else, you are likely pulled in many directions! Pressure to build more, do more, and be more is at an all-time high.
It’s enough to make anyone feel behind no matter how much they’re doing.
But…
Is it all necessary?
No.
Here’s something we so easily forget:
Only One Thing is Needed.
If we put Jesus first, the rest will all fall into place. When our lives are oriented around Him, we can focus on the rest—from a place of rest—in Him.
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Matthew 6:33
Based on Luke 10:38-42, this humble online space aims to offer guidance and encouragement to help you keep Jesus at the center of your life, orienting all else around Him.
Each offering is rooted in biblical principles to keep you rooted and grounded in Christ, grow your love for God and others (the two greatest commandments!), and provide insight, interpretations, and application of scripture for your spiritual growth.
