We often shorten them to “love God and love your neighbor.” That is fine for a quick response or quick recall to our minds, but are we failing to remember the full meaning of those commandments by doing so?

Who to Trust
Today’s passage from Psalms is very appropriate for the times we live in. So many people are putting their hope into a specific candidate, government support, or other human institution.
