A Certain Woman That Was Upset with Her Sister (5 of 11)
Ken D. Trivette
Luke 10:38-42
Our story involves a ''certain woman'' named Martha that lived in a ''certain village.'' She had a sister named Mary. They were sisters that were quite different in personality and temperament.
Yet it is these differences that the Holy Spirit has preserved in the Bible to teach us one of the most important lessons of the Christian life. As we slip into the home we find Martha upset with her sister about something she was doing. Let's consider what it was that upset Martha.

Have you invited Jesus into your home? What a blessing it is to see families that have invited Jesus into their home as their special guest. G. Campbell Morgan once told how shortly, after he and his wife were married, his father came to visit them. He walked through the house peering into every room. Finally he said, ''Yes, all is very nice. But nobody will know walking through here whether you belong God or the devil.'' Morgan says he made up his mind that from henceforth there would be no room in the house that did not have some message in picture or book, that would tell every visitor that this was a home in which the Kin ...
