Daily Walk Through the New Testament

July 11

Read Luke 10:30-11:13

Mary and Martha provide two excellent models of worship and service. Instead of valuing one over the other, we should have a balance of both. You simply cannot divorce the two and be an effective follower of Christ.
Many have criticized Martha for failing to sit with Mary at Jesus’ feet. However, churches are full of Christians who “sit and soak” and never prioritize serving and applying what they have learned. Many Christians pride themselves on their faithful attendance, but the statistics have not changed for decades. 80% of the work is done by 20% of the people.
What changes do you need to make to balance worship and service in your life?
