Introduction

Love God. Love People. 

You've heard it before and to be honest I didn't want to settle on such a cliché tag line. I did jumble around for different titles that were possibly more clever but decided this was the only one that truly fit. I first heard it at Student Life of 2004 in which it was the theme for that year. So much in scripture points us to do those two very things. I also have deduced that to be a true Christian, this is what you must live by. With all denominations, divisions, and arguments aside you must love your Father in heaven and love the people that he has placed here on this earth, period.

It took forever to find a logo that was 7 years old.

I have decided to start another blog to have exclusively for the things God is showing in my life and the experiences I have encountered through ministry and service opportunities. I will continue to post in my other blog(s), but this one will be reserved exclusively for content as I mentioned earlier.

So what better way to end this post with scripture that points to the title. 

Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' – Matthew 22:37-39

My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. - John 15:12-13

We love because he first loved us. If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. – 1 John 4:19-20

This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. – 1 John 4:9-11

“Though I speak with the tongues of men and angels, but have not love, I have become as sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.” - 1 Corinthians 13:1
