Now you may be thinking; "Ruby, what are you talking about? I'm saved, I love God!" But, I am serious! This last Wednesday night, we went out to Camp Chetek for their music night and Brother Scott Sivnksty spoke. The passage that he spoke on was Mark 12:28-30, "And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, I Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment."
He continued then to make four points of what loving God requires. They were: (1) Complete Fixation, (2) Complete Living, (3) Complete Intellectualism, and (4) Complete Exertion. It just really made me reflect on how I live and made me ask myself if I am loving God as I should.
If we don't love God, we won't love others; if we don't love others, we won't have a servant's heart. That really challenged me. The Lord has given me the opportunity to work at Camp Chetek for three weeks on their T.E.A.M. Program. We spend all next week in training under Brother Scott and then we work for the last two. I am incredibly excited about what the Lord is going to teach me.
