Single-Mindedness (8 of 9)
Series: Believe - What Do I Do
Chuck Booher
Mark 12:29-30
Single-mindedness means that you have one focus, one goal, one overall purpose that everything else revolves around and must be checked by this.
This is all encompassing and should mean that everything concerning who we are and what we do is born out of a total and complete devotion to God.
Timmy and wanting to be a Missionary in Russia
I was touched by this because Tim got what we were teaching him.
To Love the Lord our God with all his heart, with all his mind,
Mark 12:29-30 (NASB)
29 Jesus answered, ''The foremost is, 'HEAR, O ISRAEL! THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD;
30 AND YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.'

Deuteronomy 6:4-7 (NASB)
4 ''Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one!

The Context is that we are to believe this, live this and teach this to our children.
We are to teach them consistently and constantly.

Matthew 6:33 (NASB)
33 ''But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
First in my time, talent and treasure
Matthew 6:24 (NASB)
24 ''No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.

My success in life is am I doing that.
