According to John Wesley's Works, He was asked "Who is a Methodist?" His reply was, "A Methodist is one who has 'the love of God shed abroad in his heart by the Holy Ghost given unto him;' one who 'loves the Lord his God with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his mind, and with all his strength.'" Now that quotes Jesus declaring what is the greatest command in all the law.
A group of us at church have been reading/studying Bishop Rueben Job's book "Three Simple Rules," which reflects on The General Rules of the Methodist Societies. Referring to Jesus' "Great Commandment," Job writes, "Here we have the foundation and instruction for the faithful and good life in every age. ... And it remains a guide to the highest form of faithfulness ... that is both rewarding and fruitful in furthering God's kingdom on earth as it is in heaven." (p. 9)
Suppose life is all about these 2 commands - love God and love your neighbor. What if?
