MK 12:29 Jesus answered, “The foremost is, ‘HEAR, O ISRAEL! THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD; MK 12:30 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.’ MK 12:31 “The second is this, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” Brad |

Hi, Brad... The purpose of the law is to show our great need of a Saviour (Romans 7:7) and the great holiness of our God (Psalm 19:7-12). It is not an end in itself (Romans 8:3). But now thus says the LORD, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I give Egypt as your ransom, Cush and Seba in exchange for you. Because you are precious in my eyes, and honored, and I love you, I give men in return for you, peoples in exchange for your life. Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east, and from the west I will gather you. I will say to the north, Give up, and to the south, Do not withhold; bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the end of the earth, everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made." (Isaiah 43:1-7 ESV) Our purpose is to bring God glory (Psalm 86; 1 Peter 2:9) and to enjoy His fellowship forever (Psalm 16:5-11; 1 John 1:3). In Him, Doc |

Yes, you are correct. How do we accomplish this? MK 12:30 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.’ In this, we will find that our purpose will be to bring glory to Him. In th process of bringing glory to Him, our fellowship with Him grows. How much more glory can we bring to God, but by making Him master of all? (I think I said that correctly, I've not had a good day with trip by ambulance to the hospital this morning.) Brad |

Nasty inner ear infection. I went to bed feeling fine. Got up this morning and went to get out of bed, room started spinning, and passed out. I then started losing supper from the night before. After a couple of attempts to get up and kept passing out and then vomiting, I had to agree it was time to go to the hospital. Next thing I know I was on the way to the hospital via ambulance, had head ct to make sure I hadn't damaged anything (yes it showed I had nothing up there (didn't need an expensive test to prove that)). ED doctor gave me medicine to stop the vomiting and help get the dizziness under control. So, I now have medicine and will have to let it run its course, so I have to take it easy for the next couple of days. As long as I don't change positions quickly, the dizziness isn't to bad. That was my exciting morning. Could of done without it, but thankfully it isn't anything serious, just nasty little bug in my ear. Brad |
