Many of us have heard the expression, “Keep the Main Thing the Main Thing.” It’s a great encouragement to focus on what really matters in life. We need this encouragement because we often forget what really matters and focus on more trivial things. And the Church is not immune to this temptation. Today we will see the effects of missing the Main Thing, and hear Jesus’ call to return again.
