That program of planned neg

We usually think of neglect
as an undesirable trait but
when it is planned it becomes
priceless.
Our day calls for planned
neglect if we would accomp
lish anything worthwhile. Un
less our loyalties are strong,
we are liable to treat second
ary things as if they were of
first importance.
Planned neglect is greatly
needed in our devotion to the
Lord. Television can drown
out the caJl of God to prayer
and Bible study, baseball can
keep us from Wednesday
night prayer meeting and the
lake can draw us from Sun
day services. We face the
danger of allowing the enter
tainment to usurp the place
of the eternal.
Since life is too short to be
little, we must concentrate on
things of lasting worth or
seek first the kingdom of
God. At the entrance of the

there are three doors. Over
the door on the other side are
cut thorns with the legend,
“That which troubles is but
for a moment.” But over the
central door is cut the cross,
with the inscription, “That
only is important which en
dures forever.”
