Summary

When asked about priorities, most people say, “God. Family. Friends. Job.” But according to Timothy Keller, “The true god of your heart is what your thoughts effortlessly go to when there is nothing else demanding your attention.” Can you still say God is first? What good (or bad) things have moved from good to “god” of your life? How do we dethrone them? Listen, Linda, we need to “wake up & pay attention” (Sister Act, anyone?). It’s time to put God back where He belongs: FIRST, ONLY, & ULTIMATE God of our hearts.
