Re: I'm confused.....
Wow Koinonia,
This is probably the best post in quite a while. Maybe you could just let your wife post and maybe you could pop in every once in awhile if she lets you. (just kiddin bro)
Seriously, I always love a short post that gets to the heart of the matter.

do you have a heart for all your brothers and sisters wherever they are?

Some of the scribes inquired of the Lord Jesus as to what is the most important of the commandments:
Quote:
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.

"wherever they are". If we cannot love the brothers and sisters the Lord has surrounded us with, it may say something about whether we are truly keeping the most basic, essential of commandments. The test may be our neighbor. The test may be our brothers and sisters God has put us with. The test may even be our spouse or family member in our own home. May God have mercy.
