In part of tonight's sermon, Pastor Mark was talking about how many of us try and look for God's will in many of the decisions we make, almost like going to a palm reader or something. Where do I go to school? Which house do I buy? Etc. Those are all good questions and we should seek God in those answers but no matter what good or bad decisions we've made we can be in God's will, immediately, by doing what He says to do, right now. Christ Himself summed it up when He said, "Love God with all your heart and love your neighbor as yourself". Whatever situation we are in, by following that simple command, we are in God's will. God's will is more of making the right moral decisions than anything else. How do we learn what type of decisions to make? By reading the Bible and praying and letting our mind be renewed by God. Loving anything is difficult and that renewing by Christ is essential.
Pastor Mark also expounded on Romans 12:9-13 in measuring sincere love:
Dang, I've got a lot of work to do.
