Christians Without Love by shinacollins(m): 9:18am On Oct 25, 2015
In Churches these days, from Sunday School to the main service and even weekly activities... I have noticed a trend.... The topics that are taught and sermonised revolves around topics like....; Break through, Holiness, Making Heaven, Tithe, Marriage, Enemies, Fruitfulness etc etc...
Now, I am not saying this is bad... but the greatest of all is not truely emphasised.
WHICH IS LOVE.....
Mark 12:28-34 And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, "Which commandment is the most important of all?" Jesus answered, "The most important is, 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 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.' The second is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these." And the scribe said to him, "You are right, Teacher. You have truly said that he is one, and there is no other besides him. And to love him with all the heart and with all the understanding and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices." And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." And after that no one dared to ask him any more questions.

Clergymen look so cool in their outwardness looking holier than thou.... yet their congregations live in penury.
I believe the example of Jesus Christ should be emulated. Afterall, that is why we are here.
Conclusively!!! I think more emphasis should be placed on LOVE, when there is love even amongst brethren of the cross, the rest would follow.
At least until the trumpets sound.
Shalom......
