Jesus said, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” –Jesus Christ, Matthew 22:37-39
These words are written on the wall of our church. The man who spoke last Sunday had the entire congregation read those words aloud, and then he said this:
“Nowhere in God’s word does He say we get to choose our neighbor.”
