If we believe that God is everything to us, that he is most relevant to our life and to our needs, since he is at the very core of it all, being our creator and father who is the very giver and keeper of our existence and nature and who loves us no end, then the least thing we can do other than keeping him simply in our mind and heart is to talk about him, and doing so openly. This ought to be our normal behavior.

                    [Summary] => Martha was distracted with much serving. – Luke 10:40


While Martha served Jesus unsparingly, her sister Mary sat at His feet, listening and learning. Charles H. Spurgeon (1834-1892) believed that Martha’s mistake wasn’t her serving, but rather that she allowed it to distract her attention from Jesus. Spurgeon believed that we should be Martha and Mary in one. He wrote, "We should do much service, and have much communion at the same time. For this we need great grace. It is easier to serve than to commune."

                    [Summary] => Martha was distracted with much serving. – Luke 10:40


While Martha served Jesus unsparingly, her sister Mary sat at His feet, listening and learning. Charles H. Spurgeon (1834-1892) believed that Martha’s mistake wasn’t her serving, but rather that she allowed it to distract her attention from Jesus. Spurgeon believed that we should be Martha and Mary in one. He wrote, "We should do much service, and have much communion at the same time. For this we need great grace. It is easier to serve than to commune."

The narrative of Lazarus as recorded in John 11 is a very interesting story. It shows several presumptions we embrace and often neglect the truth that Jesus is trying to convey.
