Being Singularly Devoted

Being Singularly Devoted...Is important.

Multi-tasking may work in other areas of your life, like washing the dishes and cooking, working out and watching a lecture, etc. But it's something that doesn't work when it comes to your relationship with God. You can't juggle between Jesus and his will and you and your own. Like the verses below will illustrate, serving two masters fully and devotedly is impossible. Sometimes it is necessary to check yourself and buckle down on bad habits.
