Love God, Love People

"Love God, love people, that's it. That's the revolution - revolutionary I know, but if we understand what that means, if we get it, if we establish in our thinking how that looks, and we start living it, we will change the world. It's not so much about the big stuff, it's just about the stuff. It's about the people in the places being the answer - in the places, and together; becoming the answer to the big stuff. It's about your backyard and it's about my backyard." - Joel Houston

This being my first real post, I want to pose the question, "What does it mean to love God, and love people?". My answer to that begins with biblically defining love. Love is clearly summed up in Romans 12:9, which says, "[Let] love [be] without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good," love is clinging to what is good, the things of God. That being said, if we cling to God, if we truly love him, we will love the things and people that he loves. We will be compelled to reach out to a dying world as God calls us to. It's not enough to stay in our huddle, we have to get out and go to this world and show them the Christ that we have. The basics of what I'm trying to say is that if we LOVE GOD, like we say we do, we should as well LOVE PEOPLE!

Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love [is] the fulfillment of the law. - Romans 13:10
