Why do I exist?). Religious teachers tend to deal the same sorts of questions, perhaps particularly questions ...read more

Martha was working in the kitchen to earn Jesus’ approval, while Mary was sitting in the living room listening to Him teach. But Jesus had no problem with Mary. Why? Because our love of Him must come before our service.
