the finale of my not book review

So in my last blog I talked about what God was teaching me and I mentioned a few things I had gathered from The Next Christians: The Good News About the End of Christian America.  I tried really hard to not go overboard and do a full book review but alas I most continue on my conclusions of my "not book review. " Gabe Lyons did an excellent job putting a bow on the whole thing.  I wanted to verbally shout "YES!" but remembered that I was in the coffeeshop before the excitement passed my gums.  Lyons did his homework and read up on C.S. Lewis' essay "First and Second Things." He quoted the beloved apologists' word saying, "You can't get second thing by putting them first; you can get second things only putting first things first."  In expounding on his point he totally Jesus jukes the most modern church thinking. (Fyi in this particular case it is not performed in a negative way but if you are unfamiliar with this term Jesus juke please see http://www.jonacuff.com/stuffchristianslike/2010/11/the-jesus-juke/) Matthew 6:33 "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."  Too often we fall into the trap of putting our priorities in the wrong order.  When focus on who God is and on living the countercultural life He has called us to (see Matthew 5-7, Matt. 22:36-40) second things will fall in place.

     So maybe the question I want to ask my readers (as few as there maybe) what are the second things the church makes a big priority that would probably fall in place if we in fact sought first His kingdom?
