[36] "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?"
[37] And he [Jesus] said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.
[38] This is the great and first commandment." Matthew 22:34-38 RSV

What does that mean to you?

No double-mindedness. I think living sinful is hard and living sold out for Christ is hard. But trying to do some of both is it's own curse.

I believe it's easier to live sold out for Christ than living sinful. Living sinful brings trouble into our lives. As a matter of fact, that's why it's sinful, I think.

Perhaps, but I have learned to sin less much less, since knowing the Father and Jesus, and what a joy it is especially being a musician, where sin is exposed everywhere!
