Today’s Bible passage is Mark 12:30 (kjv) which says, “And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.” The question I wanted to present to you today is… How Much Do You Love the Lord? Is it enough that you’ve spoken to Him in prayer today? Is it enough that you craved His Word by reading your Bible today? Is it enough that you have included Him this week in all your decisions? Is it enough that you thank and praise Him continually? Is it enough that…

(Matthew 12:10) To the gazing crowd, Jesus had asked… “What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?

They were a little pitiful in appearance due to wilting from the lengthy trip home, but I quickly searched my cupboard for a tall jar with hopes of their full recovery.

I replied, “Let’s wait and see what happens!” Within an hour, there were only a few happy campers in my makeshift vase. We ate a quick bite for supper…
