“Here’s ANOTHER REMINDER.I know many won’t like this. BUT > “The most important commandment,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.’ Mark 12: 29-31

OR if you need yet another:

Jesus replied:  ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.’ – Matthew 22:37-40

It’s not rocket science. It IS common decency! It’s common caring. It’s our duty as a part of the planet. It shouldn’t have to be said. We should be living together in harmony. We only have one planet. We are one species. We live in a bubble, a terrarium. We need to take care of the plant and all life. How can politicians, religious leaders and their flocks be so stupidly insane to think otherwise. Greed, perhaps.

Personally, I don’t care whether you believe in JC or not. That’s up to you. HOWEVER, those who profess to be believers and who do less than this, or do otherwise, are frauds professing a belief they don’t hold or just plain evil. There’re many who profess to be followers who do not follow these commandments but follow other corrupted humans in doing harm, hate and worse.

Walk the talk, if you’re going to profess being one of JC’s flock. Whether you’re a common person, religious proponent or politician, stop professing it if you aren’t going to do it. We’ve had enough of ‘wolves in sheep’s clothing!’ We’ve had enough of celebrity crusaders who harm instead of help. We’ve had enough of politicians taking from those who have little and giving it to those who have lots. We’ve had enough of harming people at borders and anywhere in the U S A or elsewhere. STOP HARMING EACH OTHER for ideology and money.

AND then there’s this:

‘Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ Matthew:25: 34-40

STOP IT. STOP IT. Talk is cheap. Actions speak louder. ACT! Get these reminders? I hope you do. Take them to heart and live by them whatever faith, or no faith, you live by. Help those around us. Even if you don’t believe the source I quoted, it makes good sense. Love others. Be kind and compassionate. Do what is good for others. Stop hurting and harming. Stop talking and start doing. It actually takes more energy to worry, fear, hate, be angry and hurt than it does to hope, help and love. Get it? I REALLY hope so. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
