Focused On Christ

You could almost believe the apostle had today in mind when he wrote to his young friend, "Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to your care. Turn away from Godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge, which some have professed and in so doing, have wandered from the faith" (1 Timothy 6:20-21).
With all of this information and all these options at our fingertips, it is more important than ever that we stay focused on the true God and His Son, Jesus, not allowing ourselves to be sidetracked into areas of false teaching that could prove destructive to our faith.
When you stop to think about it, the key to just about everything lies in FOCUS.
The writer to the Hebrews called it "fixing our thoughts" and "fixing our eyes." "Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess . Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith" (Hebrews 3:1; 12:2). In other words, rivet your attention on Jesus. Lock onto God's Son for dear life. Even when distractions around you seem overpowering. Even when your heart is breaking.
