How do I Love God?

Loving God. The greatest commandment. And the second is love our neighbor. You can’t do the second without doing the first. If fact, I think we are so ignorant of how to do the first that most of the time we make sure to include the seond and give instruction on it. So, let’s back up and ask ourselves, “What does it mean to love God? How do we do it? What does it feel like?” Joe Carter nails it with his article on enjoying God.

Why?

Don’t leave the Lion of Judah out of your Covid calculus. He is the equation. He is the sum. He is moving; He has plans; He is arranging things for your good; He is preparing to come; He is using Covid for His purposes, Ephesians 1:11. The Lion works everything after the counsel of His will.

I Am Missing My Church!

I wish I could remember where I read it; however, it bears repeating; if you see someone at church by themselves – it’s an emergency. How can anyone survive without a church family? How could you survive by yourself – forever? Because of the Covid-19 quarantine, we have been isolated physically from our church.

My current reading, maybe your video devotions

From time to time, well, maybe 3 times, someone has asked me what I’m currently reading. I’m usually working on several books at the same time, and sometimes, in a Mortimer Adler kind of way, if the book isn’t top notch, I don’t finish it. There is too much out there that is excellent to waste my time on something pedestrian. Adler’s book, entitled, How to Read a Book, was required reading in the past for college freshmen. It should still be required reading for everyone. One of his guidelines is that if the book starts well and drops off in quality, don’t finish it. If after a giving it a go, it isn’t that good, don’t waste your time.

Additionally, it is helpful to read books that are recommended by reliable sources. I seldom, if ever, read something that has not been highly recommended. There are many average and good and pretty good books out there. I want to read the great ones. This is a great one. And, it doesn’t drop off in qulaity, in fact, in get better!

Here is the video introduction of a 14 day devotional based on the new book by Dane Ortlund, Gentle and Lowly: the Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers. I highly recommend this book for everyone. GREAT BOOK!! The link to buy the book is below.
