"The world we inhabit makes everything complex, but there was a moment in His ministry when Jesus reduced everything to a radical simplicity. When He spoke about the first two commandments...He said, 'On these, hang all the Law and all the Prophets.' It's like: 'Okay, guys, if you're really stuck, forget the whole Bible, just remember the first two commandments and you'll be cool.'
Or as the early apostles used to say, 'Love Jesus; Do What You Like.'
'Cause the reality is, if you love Jesus with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, the last thing on God's green earth you will do is what you like.
Love Jesus with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength and do what the heck you like.
Thing is, you can't do that; when you get so caught up in who God is, when you get so enraptured by His nature, the one thing you wanna do is waste your life for the cause of God, because there is no other way to live."
