We have organized our in-depth study material around the two great commandments: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength,” and “You shall love your neighbor as yourself” (Mark 12:30-31). This provides a balance between your head and your heart, between doing and being. Watch for this area to grow and grow.
