WEEK 8- PRINCIPLES FROM READING

Principle 1- Matthew 20:12-13 “...It is written, my house shall be called the house of prayer...” This is referring to the account of the Lord entering into the Temple and he see’s all the money changers and the shops set up there, and he rebukes everyone. I think of this like, Temples are only to be used as Temples. There is a time and place for everything, even when it comes to selling yours chickens...you just don’t do it at the Temple.
Principle 2- Mark 12: 30-31 “...love the Lord thy God,...Love thy neighbor as thyself...” Wow, these are the two greatest commandments...you’d think it would be easy to do these. Just two things, no problem. We got this. But how do we show our love to God? “...If ye Love me Keep my commandments..” (John 15:10) and that entails a lot.
Principle 3- Mark 11:24-25 “...forgive, if ye have ought to forgive any...” I’m referring to prayer and asking in faith. Not only faith and a hope that ye shall receive but we must be clean from all spot. Forgive others so that God may forgive you. It’s simple enough right? Easier said then done sometimes. We allow pride to so easily enter and destroy and prevent God’s blessings that he is willing to give us.
