Ok so i havent posted in awhile.... i have been busy doing the War College thing and i want to post about alot of things, so i will but i am gonna break it up into a few things and start here... so make sure u read all of them, they are going to have all important stuff in them for me.
so i have been wrestling over the weekend with love and the greatest commandment which says:
One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, "Of all the commandments, which is the most important?"
"The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. 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: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'There is no commandment greater than these."
the reason i have been wrestling with it is cuz i am preaching on Tuesday night to a bunch of beautiful women who are in rehab at the moment at a place called Homestead. ( for ppl back home in Brisbane, its like the female version of Moonyah)
And i broke the sermon up into 3 parts.... 1) Love God, 2) Love others and 3) Love yourself. i am still on the first and i have been praying about it and looking at it and i have come to the conclusion that the main way you can Love God with EVERYTHING you have is to SUBMIT everything you have. it seems pretty obvious. but i mean seriously, the world would look at this and think its crazy. it is kind of a weird thing. the way you love God with everything is to submit...
but i would love to hear from others cuz i am clearly not perfect and not always sure whether i am right.... but am i on the right track with this??
well back to wrestling with it some more!!!
