Many (if not most) modern Christians have a \\u201cpop-up Jesus\\u201d\\u2026 we \\u201cpop him up\\u201d on Sunday morning, or maybe while we\'re listening to Christian radio.

But when the chips are down (sickness, relationship trouble, financial problems), we often turn to more \\u201cpractical\\u201d answers, like medical science, Dr. Phil, and good financial books. None of that is bad. But if we put our faith in those things, we\'re sunk.

We need to pursue, and be preoccupied, with \\u201cthe One Thing\\u201d for all Christians.

If you are a Christian, there is only one thing you need. And we should be obsessed with that One Thing.

Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus\\u2019\\xa0feet and heard His word. But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, \\u201cLord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.\\u201d

And Jesus answered and said to her, \\u201cMartha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things.\\xa0But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.\\u201d

Luke 10:38-42

Whenever you find yourself worried about \\u201cmany things\\u201d, remember the One Thing that is needful. Jesus.
