How do we fulfill the commands in Matthew 22:36-39 to love God? And to love others? Listen to God. Listen to others.
Matthew 22:36-40
36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”
My personal theme of study this year has been “Listening.” And so I cannot read Matthew 22 without recognizing the practical step toward true love that is listening.
The rest of this post comes from the Introduction to the latest IRSM interactive Bible study book, Called to Listen: Forty Days of Devotion, now available for order on our website.

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
Hebrews 10:23-25
This scripture always brings to mind a particular Wednesday night. Before church I was speaking with a friend on the phone and then had occasion to speak with her on the phone afterward as well. In the after church conversation, she said that I sounded less tired and more energetic. She said that it must've been the fact that I had been to church and had gotten encouragement. I agreed with her totally. I had been with brothers and sisters who loved being in the Word and being together.
