Our purpose; our mission; God's mission...

While we are getting our feet wet here and will, hopefully, grow into something God can use, I view our mission (at it's core, the foundation) is best described in Matthew 22: 37-40 "The Greatest Commandment."

37Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' 40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

We can only, truly love God with all our hearts and souls when we love our neighbors as ourselves.

Jesus was telling us that if we concentrate, worry about, pray upon, meditate on, act upon, etc. These two laws (the Greater Laws) than the others become a moot point.

Such a simple, yet powerful message.
