Anyone who says they love God must learn to love Him with all of his mind. It means our whole mind must be focus on God alone. In whatever we think, do and say God will glorify. That’s how the state of our mind should be, (all things starts in the mind) because oftentimes our “mind’s eye” see different things including the detestable things in the sight of God. When the mind’s eyes see things not pleasing to God that mind is called “carnal mind”. Therefore in loving God with all of our mind, the mind must be a whole mind not half-mind which is carnal mind.
How to love God with all of our mind?
To love the Law “Now” is to love God with all of our mind. Like David in his Psalm we must love the Law, “Oh, how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long”. Ps 119:97NIV
In the New Testament there is another way to love the Law as what the Apostle Paul wrote in Phil 4:8, (NIV) "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." Think about "these things."
When we meditate the Law or “Think about these things” it becomes a by words in us. When it become a word, it becomes our actions. Then that actions will becomes habits. And when the habits formed it builds a character.
Altogether, the positive results shall be the change of mind which will be develop into the likeness of the “mind of Christ”.

You must fall in love with the law
This is a reminder that if anyone (who claimed Christians) will not fall in love with the law (the Law “Now”) the chance of falling into deliberate sin will take place and will continue in your mind. Simply to say that if one will not fall in love with the law he will fall into sin again and again to the sin which is called, “Sin I hate to do, but I do”.
It is real in many believers, there is a sin they hate to do but oftentimes they do. They keep falling to the sin (lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh and pride of life) they inwardly known is sinful and evil. That is the big problem in many Christians today. Big problem because they are putting their self in the danger of the fire of hell (Mark 9:43-49). And that problem will not be resolve unless you will not fall in love with the Law.
Understand that the Law is perfect to change the soul- the mind. (Psa 19:7)
You must fall in love with the “Law Now” and surpass them. Also meditate them all day long so you can utter to God the words,
Oh, how I love your law!
I meditate on it all day long. Ps 119:97 NIV

Faith is not the Standard of Christian Living
Faith is not the Standard of Christian living nor it is the standard of God.
“If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. 1 Cor 13:1-3 NIV
Note: if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
Unequivocally and without a doubt, LOVE is the standard of Christian living and the standard of God. LOVE was clearly expound by apostle Paul as he stated it as follows:
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
1 Cor 13:4-7 NIV
From that well given meaning of the word LOVE, there is a very important matter we must understand. Because as far as the LOVE and LAW which is the Ten Commandments is concern, they both have a direct relation to each other.
Love is patient – directly related to the 6th commandment
Love is kind – directly related also to the 6th commandment
It does not envy – directly related to the 10th commandment
It does not boast – directly related to the 9th commandment
It is not proud – directly related also to the 9th commandment
It is not rude – directly related to the 5th commandment
It is not self-seeking (selfish TLB) – directly related to the 7th and 8th commandment
It is not easily angered – directly related to the 6th commandment
It keeps no record of wrongs – directly related also t the 6th commandments
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth – directly related to 1st,2nd and 3rd commandments
Summing Up All:
LOVE which is directly related to the Law which is the Ten Commandments is the standard of Christian living which is also the standard of God given to all men. God requires every Christian to surpass the Law.
If ye love me, keep my (ten) commandments. (Joh 14:15)

End-Time Message to all Married and Unmarried
End-Time Message to all Married and Unmarried:
Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck!Luk. 23:29
Woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! Matt.24:19
• The Difference Between the Unmarried and Married
An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord’s affairs- how he can please the Lord.But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world- how he can please his wife- and his interest are divided. An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord’s affairs: Her aim is to devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world- how she can please her husband. 1 Cor.7:32-34
• The Different Situation of Others
I tell you that anyone who divorce his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commit adultery. The disciples said to Him,”If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry, Jesus replied,”not everyone can accept this teaching, but only those to whom it had been given. For some are eunuchs because they were born that way; others were made that way by men; and others have renounce marriage because of the Kingdom of Heaven. The one who can accept this (he/she that is able) should accept it. Matt.19:9-12
• There’s no Difference as in the days of Noah, and in the days of Jesus.
Just as it was in the days of Noah so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. People were eating, drinking , marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all. Luk.17:26-27
Time is Short!
What I mean brothers is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they had none; those who mourn as if they did not; those who are happy as if they were not; those who buy something as if they were not theirs to keep; those who use the things of the world, as if not engrossed in them. For this world in its present form is passing away. 1 Cor. 7:29-31
Nowadays, many married spend the major part of their lives on the affairs of this world. Such as craving for much money, wealth and desires more possessions of the things of the world rather than on the things of God. They actually reserved a very small portion of their lives concerning on the Lord’s affairs.
While those many unmarried people today they dreaming of a marriage. They prefer to get married rather than to be get excited for the Lord’s return. If we ask them, if supposed Christ will return next year, they will rather eager to be married first and to have children, and begging not for Jesus coming again. It seems that heaven is not a happier place for them to imagine.
It’s ironic, many married wish they have not been married and many unmarried wish they are married. The fact is, that marriage is a very serious matter and is not a big joke. So, for those who are unmarried better to think not only twice but a hundred times before you decide to get married or not. And for the husbands and wives, do make every effort not to separate for whatever reason or caused. Keep in mind that the adulterer, the fornicator and the sexually immoral will not go unpunished. The wrath of God awaits to anyone who do such detestable things.(Heb 13:4)
Now therefore, if you claimed you are a true Christian whether married or unmarried. This is the right time that you must get involve on the Lord’s affairs, and set yourself to be more and more godly and holy in this wicked and adulterous generation.
God gives us a time and a clear “signs of the times”, so that we can dress up and make our self ready for the soon coming affairs- The Great Banquet and The Marriage of the Lamb.
Everything will be ready in a moment and everyone is invited. Blessed are those who will come.
