Another great article. While I too am convinced that we all fall short of the Glory of Lord God, the idea is to mover closer and closer consistently. Perpetual sin consistently separates us especially when there’s no act of contrition. You have been blessed I am convinced of that; for we all have a created purpose; and speaking for myself, your gift of boldly writing and articulating that which is Lord God and that which is Mammon is special. This dovetails nicely with what Lord Jesus said. “ You cannot serve two masters."
Mike B said (August 5, 2015):
Just to indicate some difference of opinion. We may be very influenced by institutionalized thinking. Love is just unity; no worship necessary but bearing witness, and no obedience necessary as a restraint if there is love. -
Ways of expressing our love of God.-Why? Express the will of God, as best you understand it; that is all your love can be.
And what is ment by God? Yahveh, whom the zionists and satanists are expressing so nicely? What constitutes the relationship to whatever God referred to?
Are you related to this God or do you follow the implications given by the church? Is it a God far away or a God near at hand?

I completely agree with Michael B.
Pray the Rosary and go to Traditional Latin Mass.
God bless you,

t is because of your fallen nature that you only "love God halfhearted."

You learn to love God fully through the grace of the Sacraments that Jesus instituted when he founded his One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.
DD said (August 4, 2015):
Some positive ways we can express our love to God are:
-Be thankful, and thank Him both verbally and with our attitude towards Him and others.
-Compliment God. Tell HIM you love HIM.
-Be good to the poor. Giving to the poor is like giving to God.
-Encourage others and not just yourself and your family;
-Love your wife (if you have one) and your children they are both gifts from God;
-Try to enjoy your work and do it to the best of your ability
-Give more than people expect (time, money, effort,…)
-Perform random acts of kindness
-Listen
-Have self-control in all circumstances and watch how you conduct yourself. You are an ambassador for Christ.
-Share the word (in love, good attitude and no condemnation) with others when the opportunities present themselves.

You got it right.
Who really knows what "love" is all about.
That being said, none of us humans are perfect.
But, in our imperfection, to love God we need to do our best to obey
the "rules" He gave us.

As I became more aware of the satanic agenda, I realized our problems are too big for us, and that's what brought me back to my spiritual nature. God has wanted a relationship with us since the garden. It's just hard to remember this and to keep our focus on him with all the shiny stuff in our world.
An ongoing thought I have had regarding the "chosen people" part of the old testament was God saying I love you all so much I even love this group that continually turn their back on me and pray to anything that shines.
The meaning of the prodigal son really came home to me recently; when we turn to God, he does not stand there, he runs to us. As the story goes, as long as Peter kept his eyes on Jesus, he could walk on water. When I have my focus internally on my spiritual nature, I am not as focused on selfish pursuits.

I’ll go along with Robert K that being born again is essential, but a question I meet regularly as a hospice chaplain is, “How do I do it?â€
First off is to recognize that our own good deeds won’t make us acceptable to God, because our inborn “original sin†trips us up every time – God demands perfection, and our being born twisted disqualifies us before we even start. Therefore the sacrificial death and experience of Hell that Jesus underwent for every human being ever created (past & future) is of cardinal importance to pay for our sins.
Those who repent of their sin, ask Jesus for forgiveness and then invite Him into their lives undergo the experience of being born again (John 3:3). This forgiveness provides a ‘judicial’ righteousness to those receiving it, and it has been noted in some instances that such newly born-again believers display new personal characteristics within days or weeks of taking the step.
However, the process taking place after being born again is one that all believers encounter, and here, by a series of good and bad experiences and concomitant challenges to exercise faith in these circumstances, God slowly transforms the believer into something eventually approaching the moral rectitude attributed to him/her at the beginning – if you like, judicial righteousness becomes actual righteousness towards the end of the Christian’s life.
Finally, in response to the love of God demonstrated supremely in the death of Christ for us, His enemies, we are brought by a long and arduous process to express our love for Him in the very best way we can: as He said, “He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me:…†(John 14:21).
Al Thompson said (August 4, 2015):
Keeping God's commandments is extremely important in defeating the wing-nuts of the new world order. There is a reason for promoting sex and homosexuality: to get mankind to forget and offend the God who created us. The various governments and religions promote communism/socialism which is nothing more than an extortion racket: comply or die. The idea of taxation is a form of theft. Theft violates the commandments. Thus, to be in the government is to be a thief and a liar; and in many cases a sexual pervert.
Keeping the commandments nullifies all satanic activity and it trumps all man-made doctrines. In my opinion, writings are always to be tested for there veracity. So then, the natural laws or natural order is the standard we should use to rightly discern right from wrong. Keeping the commandments always gets good results, even if I get persecuted for it. The unrepentant sinner is the real loser as they are filled with their own disgusting arrogance. Satanists are not powerful; they are just full of crap.
The best thing anyone can do for themselves is to abide in the commandments and the results will speak for themselves.

Steve said (August 4, 2015):
The 10 Commandments were written to Israel. When Jesus Christ arrived he "consolidated" them to two (see Mark 12:29ff, Romans 13:9ff).
After the day of Pentecost, Acts 2, believers can now walk in agape, the love of God (Romans 5:5), and we are to walk according to the scriptures addressed to those (from both Jew and Gentile) in the "church of God" (I Corinthians 10:32).
Will we screw up? Sure. But we have an advocate: I John 2.
Art from SA said (August 4, 2015):
Great stuff, man! God's about people, & people are about God.
But don't forget that Jesus said that He came for the fallen. & that was one of His running battles with the Pharisees.
If we remain uncommitted to God, we fall under Satan's order. Even though we made no choice for it.
Magda said (August 4, 2015):
Below is my standard.
"According to the Holy Quran, the love of God is expressed and emphasized many times over, throughout the book. God loves: the charitable, the righteous, those who fulfill obligations, the steadfast, the good doers, those who trust Him, the benevolent, those who purify themselves, the equitable, the just, those who are clean and modest. These values earn God’s love because they support His cause, guarantee a peaceful, loving and responsible community of believers who encourage each other to be righteous, care for the poor, the relative, the orphans, the neighbors, the traveling aliens and each other. "
Indeed, the love of God is active and has its fruits, just as hatred is active and has the fruits such as strife and corruption. Unfortunately in 2015 what is apparent are the values and fruits of those with the satanic agenda, unfortunately.

Henry my good friend if we keep following the designs of the devil it will drive us crazy. There is no making sense of it because it's rooted in deception.
I spent almost a lifetime trying to find those answers while remaining oblivious to so much of the good that was around me. I'm sorry I gave it the time that I did.
It's the study of what is righteous and holy that leads to our salvation and comforts our soul.
