November’s Scripture!
Remember we will be challenged through our education ministry to commit published scriptures to memory each month. October has flown by, time to move our focus to a new scripture. If you didn’t get Philippians 2:1-4 totally committed to memory, it’s ok! Celebrate the time you spent drawing closer to God!
Let’s work to hide the two greatest commands in our heart. I encourage you to contemplate and communicate the call to love God with all of yourself and love your neighbors as yourself. What’s all that mean? What’s your next step in better living out those commands? How do all other matters of faith grow out of these two commands?
I am considering setting up a sort of online bulletin board/discussion group for folks who wish to share about the monthly scripture and your experience in the memorization process If it would be useful for folks. Let me know if you’d like to have a tool for sharing online. Happy memorizing!
For November:
“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 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.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” (Matthew 22:36-40 NIV)
