The Great Commandment

Posted Dec 29 2009 by Jonathan Brink in Jesus, Love with View Comments

Mark Batterson writes in his book Primal:

“The great commandment is the lost soul of Christianity. If Jesus said that loving God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength is the most important commandment, then doesn’t it logically follow that we ought to spend an inordinate amount of our time and energy trying to understand it and obey it? We can’t afford to be merely good at the Great Commandment. We’ve got to be great at the Great Commandment.”

Just curious when was the last time you heard this on Sunday?
