Major in Majors

This is the news from Houston today.

Yes, it is hot and humid in Houston, but I wonder if there is a lesson about majoring in minors. You are familiar with that term, right? It is something that is rather common in church, too. We spend huge amounts of energy on matters that are not central. We get upset and we upset others over issues that are on the margins.

Here is the story...
An undercover sting operation in Houston nabbed more than two dozen air conditioning repairman performing work without a license, the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation said Thursday.
TDLR officials said the sting took place at a home in Houston between July 12 and 14.
The agency is expected to issue cease and desist orders to the unlicensed companies identified during the sting until they are in compliance with the law. Businesses that fail to obey the order could be subject to a $5,000 fine.
"We want every person in this state who is performing air conditioning or heating work without a license to worry every time they answer a call," TDLR's Executive Director William Kuntz said in a news release. "If they meet the requirements for a license, we want them licensed. If they don't meet the requirements, we want them out of business."
State law prohibits unlicensed businesses from offering to perform air conditioning work to actually performing it without a license.
Kuntz advises consumers check with the state's Web site to see if the repairman they are about to hire is properly licensed.
"The consequences of hiring an unlicensed, unqualified person can be disastrous. Your home can burn and your family may be harmed or killed. Even if you escape without injury, unlicensed contractors rarely have insurance. You will have no recourse if the unit fails to function properly - or function at all," Kuntz said.

At least is was not a police sting operation!

Let's stay on task. The task has everything to do with righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit (Rom 14:17).
