Focus on This (Intro) pt 1

I think as Christians, especially those of us that have been Christians for a while, tend to focus on so many of the little things. Because of that I think we tend to ignore the really big things. So, with the next six posts, I want to focus on what could quite possibly be THE biggest thing.

In Matthew 22:34-40 an expert in the law tests Jesus asking him which commandment is the greatest (v 36) and Jesus responds:

"Love the Lord you God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind." (v 37) The second is: "Love your neighbor as yourself." (v 39)

I think it is absolutely important for us as Christians to focus on these two commandments with our lives. So over the next six posts we'll look at how we can love God and love people. Here's what those next posts will look like.

Love God

1) Trust

2) Worship

3) Obey

Love People

1) Give

2) Serve

3) Care
