Sermon Illustrations

At our house we have a set of children’s books that are designed to teach kids their ABC’s and 123’s. The very first book in the number set is entitled My One Book. The main character in this book is Little One. Little one lives in the house of one. The house of one has one door, one table, one chair, one window … you get the picture. It’s a book about one thing. God has left us a book. It is called the Bible. The Bible is my One Book. It has one door, one table, one family, one passion, and one purpose. He is calling the Martha’s of the world to leave the land of many things and join the Mary’s in the land of One thing. He wants us to trade in our principle of many things for His principle of one thing.
