This is the Pastor of Elevation Church in Charlotte, NC. I frequent his blog and love how knowledgable he is on the things of God. Here is a blog that I absolutely loved from the other day. I want to make it clear that these are NOT my words. It is linked and posted on my blog from Pastor Steve's blog. If you want to read more of his blog, click here.

Don’t put Jesus first
October 11th, 2007
The worst thing you can do as a Christian is to try and put Jesus first in your life. I know it sounds good, and Lord knows, I’ve said it plenty:Put Jesus first, your family second, your job third…But it’s a flawed paradigm.
Jesus doesn’t want to be first on your list. He doesn’t need your shout out.He’s not content to be first in your life.He insists on being the center of your life.
Putting Jesus first in my life means I kind of segregate Him from my other priorities.Making Him the center of my life means I integrate Him into every priority.
It’s not Jesus, then my family, then my job…It’s Jesus: in my family, in my job…
It’s not Jesus, then anything…It’s Jesus in everything!
