This is the first and great commandment.’” If we love God with ALL that we are, then everything else falls into place. When we love other things or peopl...
Jesus went on to tell the disciple the second greatest commandment as well: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:39). The truth is, we sure do love ourselves! We do many things for ourselves each day; likewise, we love others by putting them before ourselves. This is a difficult thing for our selfish flesh, but it’s an important c...
What is the Kingdom of God? First, it’s not a physical kingdom—yet. Someday, King Jesus will set up His Kingdom on the earth in all its fullness, but for now, it’s a spiritual kingdom that is breaking into the physical realm. Religious leaders asked when God’s Kingdom would be established (thinking God would wipe out the Romans who were ruling over...

Is not life more than food and the bod...

But choosing Jesus requires that we live differently than the world: “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate an...
