The title to today's blog is one that holds dear to my heart. "Love God, Love Others, Serving the World." This is the mission statement to the church I attended while in Fort Worth, Texas, Hallmark Baptist Church.
This is what they have to say about this phrase, ...
1. Love God
"Jesus said to him, 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind'
Matthew 22:37
2. Love Others
'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'
Matthew 22:39
3. Serve the World
"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.
Matthew 28:19-20
Above all else, each day I wake, I pray I am able to show my love to others through my love for the Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit). Without the Trinity, there is no life as Paul says it in Philippians 1:21.
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God."
Prayer:To not be hindered by the things around me but to press on running with endurance to what God has set before me in order to love him more each day through both word/praise and deed/service.
"Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you."
~Psalm 63:3
Amen.
Hebrews 12:1-2:
