Heart: Kardia -- Seat of the affections and the center of our being.

Soul: Psyche -- Life or individual existence.

Strength: Ischys -- Force or Ability.

We are to love God with our entire being.

The motive of our questions reveals our true heart.

1 Kings 11:11-13 (CSB)

Jesus defines neighbor as anyone to whom you can show mercy -- even those you would rather not.

Don't let the world outlove the church 

Love doesn't calculate the minimum -- it commits to the need

Come near and see.

Stop

Compassion > Cultural Boundaries 

Kingdom Ethic > Religious Identity

Love of God and Neighbor > Preservation of Self
