Today’s
Thought “Wrongful Exacerbations” G. Ward
And He said to him, “‘You
shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and
with all your mind.’ This
is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, ‘You shall love your
neighbor as yourself.” Matthew 22:37-39
A pervasive ideology maintains that before you love another you must
first love yourself. Have you really interrogated what that means? Oh sure it
sounds very much on point, but the actuality of it is entirely antithetical to
scripture (cf. Mt. 16:24, 2 Ti. 3:2-7). The problem is that mankind is far too insatiated
with himself; his views (opinions), likes and dislikes, political posturing,
etc. Moreover, if opposing views enter therein, he then becomes argumentative and
cantankerous.
Believer-ship always demands to replicate the Savior’s walk (Eph.5:1-2).
We’ve been presented foolish promulgations for too long (2 Ti. 3:6). It’s time
to become more interrogative concerning what Final Authority has to say. We’ve
had our way long enough. The cyclical process of self-gratification yields not
only great uncertainties, but exacerbates gluttony (Php.4:11-12).
Happy Tuesday!
