“'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with. ... And the second is Love your neighbor as yourself." (Mathew 22:36-40)
Something to seriously ponder on what we are doing every Sunday.
We need to update our mindset, if we want God to be on outside.
May be the message of Jesus in "The Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10 25-37) can enlighten us to understand what we are religiously doing every week without fail.
