Read Mark chapter 12

28-34 One of the scribes asked Jesus, “What commandment is the foremost of all?”
Jesus answered, “The foremost is, ‘HEAR, O ISRAEL! THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD;
AND YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.’ “The second is this, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

The scribe said to Him, “Right, Teacher; You have truly stated that HE IS ONE, AND THERE IS NO ONE ELSE BESIDES HIM; AND TO LOVE HIM WITH ALL THE HEART AND WITH ALL THE UNDERSTANDING AND WITH ALL THE STRENGTH, AND TO LOVE ONE’S NEIGHBOR AS HIMSELF, is much more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

When Jesus saw that he had answered intelligently, He said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.”

This whole chapter in Mark Jesus is being questioned about the law by Pharisees and Herodians (Idumeans) trying to trap him. Jesus outsmarts them and answers every single one of their questions in a manner in which they can’t even return a rebuttal. Then this scribe comes and asks him the question that summarizes the whole point Jesus was trying to make. As the Pharisees and Herodians tried to manipulate tough questions and scenarios in the law they missed the whole point of why the law was there in the first place - to remind people what sin is. As Jesus says, they are constantly going around hypocritically pointing out others’ wrong doing and they are so busy trying to trap people in committing sin that they missed the point of God’s love.

This scribe afterward rightly nails it- love God with all your heart, mind, and soul, then love your neighbor the same as you love yourself. If you can do those two things then not only did you not break any of the other laws but you captured the true intention of life- to love.

Remember this as we try to reach our goals of uniting our nation! If you ever expect to unite you must use love, not hate. Then should we humble ourselves and pray and seek God’s face and turn from our wicked ways, then God will hear from heaven, will forgive our sin and will heal our land.

Disagree all you want.
This is the only way.

CONAKRY, GUINEA — Mutinous soldiers in the West African nation of Guinea detained President Alpha Conde on Sunday after hours of heavy gunfire rang out near the presidential palace in the capital, then announced on state television that the government had been dissolved in an apparent coup d’etat.
The country’s borders were closed and its constitution also was declared invalid in the announcement read aloud on state television by army Col. Mamadi Doumbouya, who told Guineans: “”The duty of a soldier is to save the country.”

He ain’t wrong.
A lot of Christians don’t read their Bible
Why? I don’t know.
That book is Written Gold

But if I had to guess it’s really because people like to be spoon fed everything. They’d rather have someone tell them than do any amount of work on their own.

Let me be the first to tell you:

Reading it yourself is EMPOWERING and INSIGHTFUL
